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.

Local Channel 4 reported this on their 6 o'clock news, but there is nothing online as of yet.

Is this real?
To: kristinn
So, he gave up drinking for dope, eh?
Obviously whatever the punishment was that he got for his last "infraction" didn't stick.

The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.
How stupid is this kid to be driving around at eleven PM with no lights? He might as well put a target on his back.
To: kristinn
Did he inhale?
To: kristinn
He was expelled from private boarding school for dope, long time ago.

Yes. I got a copy of the police department's press release, which I based this report on after seeing the local news earlier.

And I am sure this will get as much publicity as the legal problems of the Bush girls, right?

Yes, and when the officer stopped him, he inquired, "Son, do you know how fast you were going?" Young Gore responded "50?" The officer replied " try 15."

It appears he's well on his way to a stellar career in the Democratic Party.

How stupid is this kid to be driving around at eleven PM with no lights? That's why they call it "Dope".
To: kristinn
The media is keeping this quiet as nothing has appeared on google news search.
To: Howlin
I'm surprised (not) that other news outlets haven't reported this. It reminds me of his speeding arrest that was covered up by the press right before the Democrat's 2000 convention.

Oh hell yeah!!!!!!! I'll bet the press won't pile on him like they do the Bush daughters, though. Al jr., just like his dad, is a dope addict.
