And the verdict is in, the bong does not fit!!!
Leon Lott, the Richland County Sheriff who was working the case against Phelps after pictures surfaced of him smoking pot at a party several weeks ago, just spoke to the press about his investigation.
According to CoverAwards the following just went down:
Lott spoke first about drug use and why the investigation was held:
Smoking marijuana is “illegal” said Lott.
“It is my obligation to follow the law,” said Lott. According to Lott, they had to pursue this investigation and it was not related to Phelps’ celebrity status.
“Our message has to be loud and consistent. Don’t do drugs,” said Lott.
And drum roll please………..Lott then stated:
“We do not have enough evidence to prosecute.”
Phelps is a strong supporter of the “I did not inhale” defense, as he never admitted to actually ingesting the drugs.
So kids, lesson is deny, deny, deny and you too will go free!
