Sherrif wants to charge Michael Phelps

So a sheriff in South Carolina says he is going to charge Michael Phelps on drug charges.

"The bottom line is, if he broke the law, and he did it in Richland County, he's going to be charged,'' Cowan said. "And there's no difference between Michael Phelps and several other people that we arrest for the same type of a charge everyday.''

Under South Carolina law, possession of one ounce or less of marijuana is a misdemeanor that carries a fine up to $200 and 30 days in jail for the first offense. Possession of paraphernalia is a $500 fine.

I guess someone should inform this genius that you can't charge someone with possession based on a PICTURE.
