Caleb Moore, the 24-year-old son of Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, was arrested for drug possession in Troy on Sunday, March 15, 2015. (Troy Police Department)

The son of Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore was arrested Sunday for drug possession near the scene of an attempted break-in, court records show.

Caleb Moore, 24, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana.

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.

It has been my policy to leave the kids of obnoxious politicians alone. What their parents do and what the kids do are two different things.

Just this once, I'm going to make an exception. Roy Moore has made a career of vilifying me and saying how I'm destroying everything about this country that is decent, good, and true. Maybe he should check the beam in his own eye:

Matthew chapter 7, verses 1 through 5

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Or, as the kids said in the 70s:

"He can't even run his own life; I'll be damned if he'll run mine."

Also, can we please stop busting people for smoking weed? I know there may have been other issues involved here.

Hat tip, Joe.My.God: Roy Moore's Son Busted On Drug Charges

This is Caleb Moore's third arrest on drug charges. As I noted in my first post about him, tax records appear to indicate that in 2012 he worked part-time for the virulently anti-gay Foundation For Moral Law, which was founded by his father and is now headed by his mother, Kayla Moore.

What? He's getting paid to go after me? Well, all bets are off then.

Forum hosts, if you are squeamish about my bringing to light the kid's peccadilloes to go after the father, I won't get worked up over the thread's deletion.

Best wishes.

ETA: it's spelled "peccadilloes," not "peccadillos." Also, this Caleb Moore is not the freestyle snowmobile rider who died following a crash in 2013.

1. He should have read daddy's 10 commandments.

[Yavin4]

6. Aint nothing about drugs in the 10 commandments n/t

18. Wot? No "thou shall not smoke pot?"

I'd send Hizzoner a pitch for a large contribution right about now.

35. The bible does say to stone disobedient children

Thankfully for his son 'ol Roy seems hung up on the holy listicle to the exclusion of the rest of the text.

Does this not hang on the Chief Justice Roy Moore wall somewhere?

Deuteronomy 21: 18-21

“If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

[TerrapinFlyer]

4. 20 years minimum!

And his Dad should get 1000 hours of Community Service for bad parenting...


do I really need to post the sarc emoti?

5. Hahahahahahahahaha! But he's such a FINE young man!!

7. If Judge Moore was my father

I'd want to be stoned, too.

8. God's will, no doubt.

And God will direct Roy to get him off. No doubt.

[volstork]

10. At least

he's not gay and trying to get married. That would be a REAL crime!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

11. If there is any justice in the universe, the Alabama Supreme Court

will declare Federal drug laws null and void. Alabama law enforcement officials will be instructed not to arrest people for the use, growing, or possession of marijuana.

[Omaha Steve]

12. I vote LEAVE It!!

K&R!

OS

[mahatmakanejeeves]

14. Thanks.

I have until now avoided all the things that the kids do. He's on the payroll, though, so I guess it's fair.

[adieu]

19. Sort of

Leave it and have Caleb be the last person convicted and sent to a long prison term by that law. Once he's done, we can then repeal that law.

[jtuck004]

13. I wonder how many of his black neighbors have the same charges with his outcomes? n/t

[leftynyc]

39. I have a feeling

we're going to be seeing those statistics before too long. Moore has made a mountain of enemies on the left because of his religious intolerant bullshit and he can be assured of looking like a complete hypocrite and worse when those figures (we all know what they're going to show) are public.

[Optical.Catalyst]

15. Time for Tough Love

Caleb Moore needs the maximum sentence to straighten his life out. It will be good for him in the long run.

[Zambero]

16. This was not same-sex marijuna use, so it must be OK then?

The user in question is male, and the source of the marijuana in his possession was female plants, if he got his money's worth. Male plants are an abomination. Male and female in harmonious union, just as God intended it!

[Paladin]

17. Anything that embarrasses Roy Moore is good with me. (nt)

[blm]

20. Tom Cotton sez the Moore's have 'tainted blood'

so they all need to be imprisoned.

[Miigwech]

21. Jail time?

Third arrest and never had any jail time? He has connection, ya think? This kid looks like he is straight out of a fraternity. The judge's form of Christianity, being all "fire and brimstone," authoritarian, and paternalistic, should judge his son accordingly ...... throw him behind bars!

[silvershadow]

22. Someone posted on FB that he should be 3 strikes and out? Don't know. nt

[blkmusclmachine]

23. Let me guess ... no charges ... Caleb's "too big to jail" ... affluenza ...

[1Greensix]

24. Almost pee'd

I almost pee'd myself laughing. Don't worry though, cause Daddy will get him off with a pardon, or not guilty verdict. We are talking Alabama after all. The phone calls have already started and the money is on the way. This kid will be out in No Time Served!

[Telcontar]

38. Bentley and Moore are not buddies

I see no pardon in the future. Bentley comes from the traditional wing of the Republican party, Moore from flat out insane wing. Bentley won't do a thing for Moore is my bet.

[wolfie001]

25. I'm not much of a prayerful person but....

....I'll spend a year or two praying that Roy KKK Moore never has another restful night's sleep the rest of his sorry-ass life. See, there are benefits to being a Christian, you get to hope and pray as much hate as you like. Now I get it Reich-Wingers. Thanks

[czarjak]

37. and then...

Be forgiven.

[wolfie001]

46. That's right, no skin off my back........:-)

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

26. Can we assume his asshole father has put people in prison for the exact same thing

and that he will do everything in his legal power to make sure his son gets only a slap on the wrist?

I think it is safe to assume both.

Therefore, as with everything else this piece of shit touches, it turns to shit.

[Tom Ripley]

27. I would be smacked out if I had that asshole for my father

Caleb has my sympathy

[Mnpaul]

29. Same here

I feel sorry for the kid. Having that guy for a father must be a real pain.

[DeSwiss]

28. To hell with who his father is, he's a POS.

- When you go to prison you little twerp, don't drop the soap........

K&R

[mountain grammy]

30. Three strikes???

Throw the book at him. I'm quite sure his dad has locked up many for less.

[Archae]

31. Kid has his Dad's arrogance.

He was busted with a bag of pot and some Xanax pills.

BUT...

He blames the cops and the media, of course.

Moore addressed the charges in a Facebook post on Monday afternoon:

"This is nothing more than a prime example of how media and crooked police officers and critics of my dad try to not only destroy his career for what he stands for but will go as far as trying to destroy his family," he wrote. "I am not a drug user as the drug test taken today will show. As for the malicious possession charges, justice will be served."

32. "You will know them by the,,,,

fruit they bear!"

33. kick - i support your cause - go get them for their gop hyprocracy

[lonestarnot]

34. woopsie.

40. "Roy Moore has ... frequently been critical of Alabama’s Habitual Offender Act."

Roy Moore: closet liberal?

Roy Moore’s son charged with drug possession

Brian Lyman, Montgomery Advertiser 1:19 p.m. CDT March 16, 2015

....
The chief justice has made national headlines in recent weeks for his staunch opposition to rulings that struck down the state’s same-sex marriage ban. However, Roy Moore has also advocated state prison reform, and frequently been critical of Alabama’s Habitual Offender Act. At a meeting of the state’s Prison Reform Task Force on March 3, Moore joined with more liberal members of the Task Force in pushing for a study of the law, saying that not addressing it would be like “putting a Band-Aid on a major injury.”

“There’s a lot of people in there serving 99 years and life for sentences that two or three years in prison might address,” Moore said.

[treestar]

41. He must have been framed

because he would never do this. He was raised by a Christian!

[sinkingfeeling]

43. Come on. Who amongst us wouldn't be heavy into drugs if Roy Moore was

our father?

[Sunlei]

44. what is it with Xanax? do people get high off that drug?

nothing says ownership like leaving your passport with your pills & bag of pot

45. Washington Post: Son of Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore arrested for drug possession, blames media

I'm adding this because it has a link to Caleb Moore's Facebook page.

Son of Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore arrested for drug possession, blames the media

@abbydphillip

The 24-year-old son of Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore was arrested on drug possession charges on Sunday, but according to the younger Moore, the charges are just a political scheme to further attack his father over gay marriage.
....

And somehow, Caleb Moore has gotten caught up in the controversy as well.

On Facebook, he has defended his father’s actions on the gay marriage issue.

“The truth about the issue regarding same sex marriage. My father is only doing what he sworn to the people through the Alabama, and The United States Constitution,” Caleb Moore said. “However, the United States Constitution does not define marriage. Therefore, it is left up to the states which do define marriage.”
