Caleb Moore, the 24-year-old son of
Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, has blamed the media
and critics of his father for his recent arrest for drug possession.
The senior Moore is a staunch opponent
of marriage equality and the leading voice opposed to a federal
judge's ruling striking down Alabama's restrictive marriage ban.

Police arrested Caleb Moore on Sunday
and charged him with possession of a controlled substance and
possession of marijuana, AL.com
reported. He was released after posting bond.
“This is nothing more than a prime
example of how media and crooked police officers and critics of my
dad try to not only destroy his career for what he stands for but
will go as far as trying to destroy his family,” the younger Moore
wrote on Facebook. “I am not a drug user as the drug test taken
today will show. As for the malicious possession charges, justice
will be served.”
Judge Moore ordered Alabama probate
judges to ignore a federal judge's ruling striking down the state's
ban.
