This is getting strange. Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps is pictured smoking a bong and now OTHER PEOPLE are getting arrested? That’s some fine police work there, Lou. Next, those South Carolina cops will be arresting anyone who looked at the picture (yes, that would be you) as a witness. I’d hire a lawyer now, but then I’m paranoid that way.

Here’s more from the Quad City Times:

Police in the South Carolina county where Michael Phelps was photographed smoking from a marijuana pipe have been arresting people as they seek to make a case against the superstar swimmer, a lawyer for one arrested person said today.

Attorney Joseph McCulloch said he has a client who was charged with possession of marijuana and questioned about the now-infamous party Phelps attended near the University of South Carolina campus in November. He said his client’s roommate also was arrested.
