Eight Arrested In Phelps Pot Bust

Michael Phelps bong smoking gets 8 in trouble… he’s safe, for now:

We’ve now learned that since investigators began trying to build a case, they’ve made eight arrests: seven for drug possession and one for distribution. These are arrests that resulted as the sheriff’s department served search warrants.

We’ve also learned that the department has located and confiscated that bong.

Sources say the owner of the bong was trying to sell it on eBay for as much as $100,000.

The owner, who wasn’t even at the party, is one of the eight now charged.

Sadly, for Michael Phelps, this story just won’t end. Sponsors are pulling out left and right and the punishments that he seemed to evade right off the bat are coming from all angles now.
