Al Gore's Son Busted!

Posted Jul 4th 2007 12:05PM by TMZ Staff

Al Gore IIIAl Gore III, the 24-year-old son of Al Gore was arrested on suspicion of drug possession today. The former second-in-command's son was pulled over after allegedly driving his Prius 100 miles an hour down an Orange County freeway. (At least he was driving a Prius!) When deputies searched the car they found pot, along with Valium, Xanax, Vicodin and Adderall. He is currently being held at the Santa Ana Inmate Reception Center on $20,000 bail.

This isn't Gore III's first arrest. He was charged with marijuana possession in 2003 and was ticketed for reckless driving in 2000 and 2002.

3. Al Gore should take his sons car away and make him ride a horse because that actually makes the environment more safer.

7. Pot shouldn't be illegal in the first place, so big deal. People who smoke it regularly don't get intoxicated like you do when you're drunk, so it's not as if he was drinking & driving. Mixing it with prescription drugs can make you drowsy, though, so hopefully he wasn't using the Xanax & Valium before driving.
