I don't revel in the misfortune of others, but that said, karma can be a bitch - especially for those who malign others and seek to denigrate and attack others. Who do I mean? Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, anti-gay bigot extraordinaire, who has attacked gay marriage and gay parenting. It would seem that Moore is in no position to lecture others on parenting skills or to claim that heterosexual couples make better parents and provide a better upbringing to children. Moore's son, Caleb Moore, age 24, was arrested over the weekend and charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana. AL.com has details. Here are excepts:
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.
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 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."
Court records show that, in 2013, Moore pleaded guilty to drug-related charges in St. Clair County and was sentenced to probation. In 2011, he was arrested and charged with drug possession and driving under the influence in Etowah County. He applied to be treated as a youthful offender.
Would that Caleb Moore would accept responsibility for his actions. That said, I will confess that if Roy Moore was my dad, I'd probably want to use drugs to forget for a while!!
