WASHINGTON - The son of former vice president and 2000 Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore 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.

Washington Post refused to run story on 13 year old Albert III's prep school pot bust in 1996. Al turns on Clinton and the Washington post turns on Al.

Al III was busted for smoking pot with a friend at his prep school in 1996. His smoking buddy was expelled. Al III got a slap on the wrist.

Thanks for linking. I have been FR-challenged for the last 24 hours due to Christmas shopping, then sleeping, then some more Christmas shopping. :-)

I actually heard it on the local all-news radio station first, which is amazing in and of itself. I would imagine that many news outlets will give more "airplay" to this story since it was published in the Washington comPost.
To: Grim
I wonder if he got the munchies while being booked at the police station. I'm also wondering just how they got home from the police station, since they were released pending trial.
They're gonna blame this on an 'addiction gene'.

Oh you're bad, you're really really bad ;-).
