Moore's campaign issued a statement calling the arrest a "cheap political trick." The ninth arrest. Bet the preceding eight arrests, mostly in various Alabama counties and one in Florida, were all political tricks too.
But Caleb hasn't been arrested for molesting a child so he's got that in his favor.
He's had a couple DUI's and a bunch of drug possession arrests, plus hunting over bait and criminal trespass. Oh and one domestic violence arrest.
From two years ago, after his 4th arrest:
From a story on his 7th arrest back in 2015:
........... Caleb Moore is back in the news after being arrested on Sunday, his seventh arrest in less than four years, including driving under the influence arrests in both Alabama and Florida, and three drug-related arrests in Baldwin, Pike and St. Clair counties in Alabama.
In a Facebook post Monday afternoon, Moore lashed out at "crooked police officers," saying that he is not a drug user. "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.

Now Caleb Moore has critics of his own, who note that while he works for his father's non-profit organization that promotes traditional family values and moral authority in the law, he has repeatedly run afoul of the law.
Moore was arrested on Sunday, March 15, in Troy, charged with a felony possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor possession of marijuana. According to court documents, officers responded to the 1200 block of Allen Street in Troy to a report of an attempted home break-in. They found five men, including Moore, outside near a pickup truck that smelled strongly of marijuana.
After the men said there were no drugs in the vehicle, officers searched the truck and found a bag of marijuana in the glove compartment, along with Moore's passport. Several Xanax pills also were found in the bag.

It was the latest in a string of arrests, though Moore appears to have served no jail time outside of the booking process.
In 2011, Moore, then 20, was arrested by Alabama State Troopers and charged with driving under the influence and drug possession in Crenshaw County. He was released from Crenshaw County Jail the same afternoon on an $8,500 bond. His father at the time said he was seeking youthful offender status. There is no court record of the resolution of those charges.
On Feb. 14, 2013, Moore was arrested in Troy on a third-degree domestic violence charge. There appears to be no state court record of the resolution of that charge.
In March 2013, Moore pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor drug paraphernalia charge in St. Clair County and was sentenced to probation. He was given a three-month suspended sentence and told to spend a year at Canaan Land Ministries, a Christian prison-alternative program that offers a one-year rehabilitation process. On Oct. 21, 2013, an order was filed saying he had tested positive for marijuana, amphetamines and Benzodiazape, a psychoactive muscle relaxant drug category that includes Xanax. But on Dec. 26, 2013, Judge Phil Seay filed an order saying Moore had complied with the conditions of his sentence and his probation was ended.
Moore was arrested in Okaloosa County, Fla., on March 15, 2014, on a driving under the influence charge. He was released on a $1,000 bond.
Less than two weeks later, he was arrested in Baldwin County on March 31, 2014, charged with misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. The complaint said he had a "white plastic bottle and black cap to plant, propagate, cultivate, grow, harvest, compound, convert, prepare, test, analyze, pack, repack, store, contain or conceal" drug residue. He pleaded guilty on July 29, 2014, received a six-month suspended sentence and 12 months probation.

Moore, a Troy University student, works on the staff at the Foundation for Moral Law, which his father founded and where his mother is president. The Foundation is known for taking legal stands such as fighting to deny property rights to the husband of a gay man who died, saying that their marriage was not legally recognized in Alabama. The foundation represented the man's mother, who claimed that she was the rightful heir to his property.
Caleb Moore's job at the Foundation for Moral Law has also increased scrutiny on him. He was listed as executive director and secretary of the moral lobbying group on its IRS Form 990 tax filing in 2012. Moore, in the interview with AL.com, denied he has ever held that position.
"I work in the ministry," Caleb Moore said. "I'm part of the foundation. Matthew Kidd is the executive director. My mother (Kayla Moore) is the president. I do work there. I basically draft letters. I'm also going to school. I'm taking classes from Troy online. I'm two classes short of a bachelor's degree."
The Foundation for Moral Law reported income of $707,818 in 2010, $547,553 in 2011, $557,870 in 2012 and $427,141 in 2013.
