GADSDEN, Ala. (AP) — The son of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore has been arrested in Alabama on a misdemeanor charge linked to allegations of illegal hunting.
Etowah County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Natalie Barton tells news outlets 27-year-old Caleb Moore surrendered Monday on a charge of third-degree criminal trespass. He was accused of hunting without permission and hunting over bait last year.
Barton says Caleb Moore was released on $1,000 bond.
Moore’s campaign issued a statement calling the arrest a “cheap political trick.”
Caleb Moore was arrested on drug charges in 2015, but those were dropped after he entered a pre-trial diversion program.
Roy Moore is facing Democrat Doug Jones in the special election for the U.S. Senate on Dec. 12. Moore is a former Alabama chief justice who’s been removed from office twice.
