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.

376. I just thought of something. HOW does a PRIUS go 100MPH??? Think maybe it is only a PRIUS ON THE OUTSIDE and a DAYTONA 500 ON THE INSIDE?? You can take out the fuel friendly things and replace them without anyone noticing. MAKES DAD ALL LOOK GOOD, MAKES SONNY BOY AL LOOK GOOD, MAKES THESE ENVIRONMENTAL "FRIENDLY" CARS LOOK GOOD.

377. Drugs and pot found in his car.

No perscriptions for these drugs. Therefore:

POT = ILLEGAL DRUG

UNPERSCRIBED MEDICATIONS = STREET DRUGS

AL GORE III + STREET DRUGS = JUNKIE

378. Gores son should go to jail for going 100 mph thats flagrant disregard for human life. if he wants to risk his own life so be it but dont put the life of other drivers in danger.

Ofcourse he WILL NOT go to jail it will be a behind closed doors type of plea bargain as his father will keep him out of jail and his fathers friends will pull strings.

If he was a factory worker with no connections he would rot in jail as he should .

381. Look at this photo....the guy is CLUELESS. You can look right through him People like this should have their license PERMANENTLY removed. No chances or sorrys. Come on America...wake up. You can't just say sorry and make it all better. So, you are getting help...big deal...you may or may not have killed an innocent person by then.

AMERICA WAKE UP! IF you see this loser driving a car again...america should be ashamed of themselves.

383. Bush's daughers are babes, Al jr is as weird looking as a box of hair so it's ok to get on him. This is America and we don't like unattractive people.

384. Damn that Al Gore III. Doesn't he realize what a huge carbon footprint it takes to manufacture refined drugs? He should stick to naturally grown marijuana. Maybe Momma Tipper can bake them into brownies, cakes and things. She's so damned wholesome.

385. What a bunch of mostly crass or critical commentary. Could someone post what the effect of this young man's foolish driving will be?
