After having pictures published in News of the World smoking out of a bong, Michael Phelps has since apologized. But that apology has fallen on deaf ears in Columbia, S.C, where sheriff Leon Lott Jr. is apparently needy for attention and wants to prosecute him. People has more on the story.
“If someone breaks the law in Richland County, we have an obligation as law enforcement to investigate and to bring charges,” the statement said. “The Richland County Sheriff’s Department is making an effort to determine if Mr. Phelps broke the law. If he did, he will be charged in the same manner as anyone else. The Sheriff has a responsibility to be fair, to enforce the law and to not turn a blind eye because someone is a celebrity.”
Way to waste everyone’s time Leon and get yourself some media attention. Surely that area isn’t that crime free? Find something meaningful to do…idiot.
