Gore's Kid Charged with Pot Possession

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.

33. If Paris Hilton got 45 days for just a DUI, this kids should be locked up and the keys thrown away. Drug Diversion instead of jail, why, beause he is the ex Vice-President's son.

Its not the first time he has been in trouble. Driving 100 mph, a plitheria of drugs, and marijuana.

What kind of message would be be sending if this punk got Drug Diversion? I say throw the book at him just the same as if he were a nobody. He should not get any special treatment just because his Daddy is a has been.

If he does not get jail time, then I guess you can do anything you want and get away with it and just tell the Judge if Al Gore III can do it, why can't I.

His parents should be so proud of him.

35. To Ann Dee: Lots of people use excuses to cover up their ignorance,which is what happened with you. I have the facts, you did not. Your sense of humor is something to be disregarded.

38. TMZ......

so is this an attempt to destroy the Democrats in the upcoming 2008 Presidential Election OR are you simply having a slow gossip moment with all the young ladies in rehab?

Stop covering Vice President Gore's son--are you being paid by the Los Angeles County Republic Party to run this story OVER again?
