The son of Roy Moore, Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate, turned himself in for third-degree criminal trespassing on Monday, the Etowah County Sheriff's Office said.
Caleb Elisha Moore, 27, was booked into the Etowah County Jail at 10:31 a.m. He was released on $1,000 bond a few minutes later, spokeswoman Natalie Barton said. Barton said Moore turned himself in after the County Circuit Clerk's Office issued the warrant.
The charge is related to Moore's November 2016 arrest for hunting without permission and hunting over bait, which are both misdemeanors. Barton said the land owner in that case signed for a warrant for trespassing.
This is the ninth time Moore has been placed in jail. He was arrested for drug possession in Troy in 2015. Those charges were dropped last year after he agreed to enter a pre-trial diversion program with the Pike County District Attorney's Office, court records show. He has also faced charges of driving under the influence in both Alabama and Florida, and three drug-related arrests in Baldwin, Pike and St. Clair counties in Alabama.
Roy Moore, the former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice, defeated incumbent Sen. Luther Strange in the Republican runoff for U.S. Senate in September. He will face Democrat Doug Jones in the Dec. 12 contest.
