Al Gore's Son Arrested for Pot Possession

Sunday December 21, 2003 2:46 AM


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.

hehehe

Pot should be legalized.
You should be able to buy it like - booze.
There is no difference.

heeheeheehee

Sorry, but I find that exceptionally funny. Mr. "Holier Than Thou" has a son who doesn't give a fuck. Diggin it.

people need to realize a large percentage of people smoke weed. and the damn media needs to stop putting such a taboo on pot.

cheers to al gores son!!!!:drinkup

When Al Gore III tries to run for public office some day, I wonder if this will hurt or help him. The world will be a different place in 20 years.

legalize it already

i am no fan of pot
but i dont care for other people so why not legalize it
i dont care :)

seems like this isnt the first incident involving pot either...

Al Gore III (13), son of Vice President Al Gore (D), was caught smoking what appeared to be marijuana by school authorities at St. Alban's School. Al III was suspended as a result of the incident. While the story appeared in the foreign press, the story was suppressed in the US media. London's Daily Telegraph charged, "The crusading American media and Washington's political elite have closed ranks to protect Vice President Gore from embarrassment over his teenage son's indiscretion."

very nicely put

about 80% of people i meet smoke marijuana

the media puts taboo on weed but i'm sure when they're done reporting it looking all professional they go out to their expensive cars and burn a fat blunt of pricey dank nugs

Quit hanging out in the ghetto. :1orglaugh


Seriously though, nowhere near 80% of the population smokes weed. I doubt if that big of a percentage have even tried it. I smoked a few times in college but it never did much for me. I prefered booze.

Like who are we fooling.
When you drink you get a buzz.

Grow up ...
pot is the same thing as booze.
Dad@

If every politician's kid would get arrested for smoking pot, maybe some of these idiots would wake up and realize it's no worse than beer.

Isn't it also interesting that Gore's son got arrested for pot but Rush Limbaugh hasn't been arrested yet for doing harder drugs? :)

I've been noticing that lately. I thought I was alone for a while.

It may not quite be 80% , but the majority of people do , and this is a democracy

Also i would like to point out he said 80% of the people he meets , not 80% of the world. :pimp
