Albert Arnold Gore III (born October 19 1982) is the son of former United States Vice President Al Gore and Tipper Gore and the grandson of former United States Senator from Tennesee Al Gore, Sr.. He is best-known for being mentioned in an emotional vice-presidential nomination acceptance speech by his father during the 1992 Democratic National Convention.
In April 1989 at age six, Albert Arnold Gore III was the victim of a near-fatal car accident while attending a baseball game in Baltimore, Maryland. Because of this and the resulting lengthy healing process, his father chose to stay near him during the recovery instead of laying the foundation for a presidential primary campaign against eventual Democrat party nominee, Bill Clinton.
He has had several run-ins with the law that, largely due to the fame of his father and allegations of political pressure to reduce the severity of charges, garnered some brief media attention: in the summer of 2000, he was cited by the North Carolina Highway Patrol for driving 97mph in a 55mph zone (the reckless driving charge was reduced to simple speeding); in September 2002, in a most unusual move, he was ticketed but not taken into custody for driving under the influence (of alcohol or other drugs) by military police just outside Fort Myer in suburban Virginia; and in December 2003, he was charged with marijuana possesion in Maryland though, in another highly unusual move, he was not charged with driving under the influence even though he was driving at the time and had clearly just been partaking of the herb.
