Just finished the live presser in South Carolina. Looks like Sheriff Rambo there in Columbia couldn’t bring down the World’s Most Athletic Stoner:
COLUMBIA, S.C.: A South Carolina sheriff said Monday he was not going to charge swimmer Michael Phelps after a photo of the 14-time gold medalist showed him smoking from a marijuana pipe.
Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said he couldn’t ignore the photo but defended his investigation.
“Michael Phelps is truly an American hero … but even with his star status, he is still obligated to obey the laws of our state,” Lott said.
