Gore's Kid Charged with Pot Possession

Posted Jul 20th 2007 6:59PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned that Vice President Al Gore's son has been formally charged with possession of marijuana and prescription drugs.

24-year-old Al Gore III was arrested on the 4th of July in Orange County, Calif. Cops say he was burning rubber at more than 100 mph in his 2006 Prius. Along with the weed, Gore allegedly had a stash of Adderall, Vicodin, Xanax, and Valium in the car.

The Orange County D.A. charged Gore III with two felony counts of possession of a controlled substance, two misdemeanor counts of possessing a controlled substance without a prescription, one misdemeanor count of possession of marijuana, and a traffic infraction for driving at a speed greater than 100 miles per hour.

He is out on $20,000 bail. If convicted, he could be eligible for a drug diversion program instead of jail.

9. You know that he will go to a rehab program, not to jail.

After all, he is a political son, and a democrat. They don't go to jail for anything.

14. Yes, weed is good for the environment. And nobody should go to jail for pot. Not even Ms. Hilton. But the speeding.....? That is not okay. Usually, pot makes you drive slower.
