Former Senate candidate Roy Moore's attorney was arrested Wednesday night.
Trenton Roger Garmon, 39, was booked into the Etowah County Jail around 8 p.m., according to jail records. He was arrested by Gadsden police and charged with driving under the influence of controlled substances, second-degree possession of marijuana, and drug paraphernalia. ... Court records do not yet reflect the charges.
Garmon, who worked as an attorney for Moore during his failed campaign bid for the U.S. senate last year, is being held in the county jail on bonds totaling $3,000.
Moore threatened to sue the Washington Post and other media over stories detailing allegations he had sexual contact with teenage girls in the 1970s when he was in his 30s. The now-71-year-old former Alabama chief justice denies the charges. Garmon sent cease-and-desist letters to the media agencies, including AL.com, in 2017.
Senator Doug Jones, a Democrat, defeated Moore in the December 2017 special election. He has considered a run for the seat again in 2020.
