Gore’s Daughter Cited At Party

The 16-year-old daughter of Vice President Al Gore was among a group of teenagers cited for underage possession of alcohol at a party, a spokeswoman said Saturday.

Sally Aman, a spokeswoman for the Gore family, confirmed local television reports that Sarah Gore was issued what amounts to a ticket for holding an open container of beer in a car outside a party. She said the driver of the car was not drinking.

Montgomery County Police Sergeant Wayne Jerman said several juveniles were given civil citations for possession of alcohol at a party about 9:30 Friday night, but declined to identify any of them by name because of department policy on juveniles.

Jerman said the matter was referred to the department’s juvenile services division. The maximum penalty for underage drinking is a $500 fine, he said.

Aman said the Gore family is treating the incident as a private matter and will have nothing further to say about it.
