High on Fear

Michael Phelps is off the hook:
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.
But Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott did arrest eight people.
Seven have been charged with simple possession of marijuana, which carries a maximum penalty of 30 days in jail or a $575 fine. Another person was arrested for driving under suspension.
Do you think this Sheriff has an elevated level of testosterone? Check out the photo above.
He's the guy who bought an armored personnel carrier, complete with a belt-fed, .50-cal turreted machine gun. Sheriff Leon Lott has charmingly named the vehicle "The Peacemaker," and insists that using that caliber of ammunition will "save lives."
