On April 24, 2014, Moore was arrested in a corruption probe conducted by the office of then state Attorney General [[Luther Strange]], subsequently the interim [[U.S. Senator]]. Moore was charged with two counts of [[felony]] [[perjury]] and two counts of providing false statements to a special [[grand jury]] in Lee County. He denied all charges, which he termed "baseless," and went to trial. On October 30, 2014, a trial jury found Moore not guilty of all counts. Had he been convicted, he would have been removed from the legislature and faced up to ten years of imprisonment and levied a $15,000 fine for each of the four counts. On October 30, a jury found Moore not guilty of all charges.<ref name=ballotpedia/>
