Al Gore's Son Arrested for Possession of Marijuana
Montgomery County, Md. Police Department ^ | Saturday, December 20, 2003 | Kristinn

Albert A. Gore III, the son of former Vice President Al Gore, was arrested last night in Bethesda, Md. for possession of marijuana.

According to Montgomery County police, Gore was driving a dark-colored Cadillac through downtown Bethesda around 11:30 p.m. with the car's headlights off.

Police officers who were conducting a campaign against impaired driving during the holiday season stopped the car and noticed that despite the freezing temperature, all the car's windows were open as well as the sunroof.

When the officer spoke with the driver, Mr. Gore, he smelled the odor of marijuana coming from inside the car.

When officers searched the car, they found what appeared to be a partial marijuana cigarette near the center console area. They also found a baggie of suspected marijuana inside a cigartette box and a crushed soda can with an odor of marijuana coming from the interior of the can.

Gore and the two passengers in the car were charged with one count of possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. All three were released pending trial.

Al Gore, Jr. knows all about preferential treatment. He had bodyguards in Vietnam, he was given a house seat, he was basically given a Senate seat. He broke hundreds of campaign finance laws with no repercussions, he dragged the country through a 36 day dark period of uncertainty with his attempted coup d'etat. This man is scum of the earth, and his son appears to have his dad's character.

My switch for turning on my headlights is on the end of the direction signal lever. There is a setting for turning off the 'daytime running lights.' You might want to check your owner's manual ... apparently there are different ways of doing this for different models of cars.

That is weak talk. I feel no pity for him. If it was the child of a GOP elected official they would be attacking him like a pack of wild dogs. Our virtue is always used against us. We are too virtuous. They are evil. We must give them some of their own medicine. The objective here is not to be good people and co-exist with the RATS, share power with them. The objective is to destroy them. Get tough. You are showing too much weakness.

I don't blame the son. If Algore were my father, I would be smoking crack to kill the pain.

Hey PJ, if Tipper and Al were my parents, I'd be freebasing Prozac/Halcyon cocktails in between rounds of Russian Roulette league play.

A 21 year old SON of an idiot Vice President is "evil?" By not attacking an individual who hasn't campaigned or run for office himself we're showing "weakness?" Please. Cut back on watching the "Patton" movies. He's just a numbskull with the bad luck of having Gorbot and his wife as parents.

LOL! Classic pic.

The Sapling was driving in frezing weather with the windows down and the sunroof open? No headlights?

I expect Daddy Tree to say,"Why, he's not related to me. We don't even have the same last name. My last name is 'Junior' and his is "III'."

Is this real?

I sure hope not.
I can't even begin to imagine what a horrible life it would be to be Algore's son.

I mean... how would YOU like to have to call Algore "dad"????

Sheeesh. Looks like I'm gonna have nightmares again tonight.

((((shudder))))

I guess I should just be a good Republican and let the Democrats get away with their little embarrassing stuff like they do us...oh wait, they DON'T. They attack the Bush daughters and niece. They have a pornography magnate put out a bounty on all GOP congressmen. But of course, we have to be nice and virtuous. To hell with that. We need to be viscious and nasty like they are. This isn't a beauty contest. It's a fight for the soul of our nation. Every advantage must be taken. Quit being weak and get on board. You're doing exactly what the Dems want by having sympathy for the evil Gore family.

Al Gore's son arrested for marijuana possession

WASHINGTON (AP) -- 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.

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.
