Cool Al Gore's Son Arrested for Pot Possession

Quote:
WASHINGTON - The son of former vice president and 2000 Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore (news - web sites) has been charged with marijuana possession.

Albert A. Gore III, 21, was arrested Friday night after he was stopped for driving a vehicle without its headlights on.

Two passengers were also arrested and charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession. They were identified as Yann V. Kumin, 21, and Marc G. Hordon, 22, both of Cambridge, Mass.

A Montgomery County, Md., police officer stopped the car, a dark-colored Cadillac, in Bethesda, a Washington suburb, around 11:30 p.m. Friday.

The officer noticed the car's windows and sunroof were open, despite cold temperatures Friday night. There was also a smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle, according to a news release from the police department.

A search of the vehicle turned up a partial marijuana cigarette, a cigarette box containing suspected marijuana, and a soft drink can that also smelled of marijuana.

All three were released pending trial.

In September 2002, the younger Gore was ticketed for driving under the influence. He was pulled over and ticketed by military police just outside Fort Myer in suburban Virginia, but was not taken into custody.

In the summer of 2000, Gore was cited by the North Carolina Highway Patrol for driving 97 mph in a 55-mph zone. Under an agreement with prosecutors, a reckless driving charge was dropped in the North Carolina case, but he was fined $125 for speeding and his driving privileges in the state were suspended.
At least they didn't mention fraternity affiliation.

Al Gore had something in common with Jeb the first time his son was busted and the first time his daughter Corin was busted.

Al Gore #2 was not in a fraternity. His son, #3, is in the Pike colony at Harvard.

Like none of us have ever had friends who have been in the same position. Or perhaps, deserved to be busted ourselves.

So true. If Al 3 says "he didn't inhale" then I'll think the situation's unfortunate.

So Al 3 got busted for weed. Alert the national freaking guard.

I agree, who cares? It just affirms my opinion that Al Gore deserves no respect. He cannot even control his damn kid, good thing he wasn't elected. What a wet fish. Get his sorry ass out of the media, he is a loser, and deserves no press.

I don't think it has anything to do with not being able to control his.

George W. kids were busted drinking under age. Does that mean he can't control his kids? And if it does, why was he elected?

So, his kid got busted with pot. Who cares. It must have been a slow news day.

And I'm sure GW was keeping a close eye on his daughters when they got busted for MIP.

Not really an Al fan, but please let's not make any assumptions that his political actions are reflective of his parenting skills.

Ashton Kutcher said the Bush twins smoked up at a party at his house. They just didn't get caught.
