" COLUMBIA, S.C. — Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said he will charge Michael Phelps with a crime if he determines the Olympics hero smoked marijuana in Richland County.
Phelps, who set a record with eight gold medals in the 2008 Summer Olympics, was photographed smoking a marijuana pipe at a November party in Columbia.
The picture was published in the British newspaper News of the World. Phelps apologized Sunday, calling his behavior "inappropriate."
"This case is no different than any other case," Lott said Monday. "This one might be a lot easier since we have photographs of someone using drugs and a partial confession. It's a relatively easy case once we can determine where the crime occurred."
Possession of marijuana is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 30 days in jail or a $570 fine, plus court costs. But Lott seems to be the only person talking about making a case against Phelps. The University of South Carolina and Columbia Police Departments said they would not pursue charges.
Meanwhile, Phelps' sponsors — from apparel company Speedo to luxury Swiss watchmaker Omega — issued statements calling the incident a "nonissue." The International Olympic Committee accepted his apology. "
..................UN FUCKING BELIEVABLE
this is the Richland County, South Carolina Sheriff's Department BTW >
I imagine there is a ton of gang violance and vilolent criminals in that little ass rural town that warrants such obscene firepower ( << sarcasm )
