The son of Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore - bastion of high morals - was arrested and charged with drug possession near the scene of an attempted break-in, AL.com reports.
According to court documents, officers responded to the 1200 block of Allen Street in Troy to a report of an attempted home break-in. They found five men, including Moore, outside near a pickup truck that smelled strongly of marijuana.
After the men said there were no drugs in the vehicle, officers searched the truck and found a bag of marijuana in the glove compartment, along with Moore's passport. Several Xanax pills also were found in the bag.
Moore was arrested and taken to the city jail. He was released on bond totaling $8,500.
Moore apparently posted on his Facebook page that the arrest was bogus and he is not a drug user.
This is his third arrest on drug charges.
Moore was charged with possession of marijuana in the second degree, a Class A misdemeanor, and possession of a controlled substance, a Class C felony.
A C class felony in Alabama is punishable by no less than one year and one day and no more than 10 years.
We'll see if that happens...
