Current Event-Friday the 13th

Police in South Carolina, where Michael Phelps was photographed smoking from a marijuana pipe, have been making arrests as they hope to progress in making a case against the Olympic gold medalist. While arrests have been made near the University of South Carolina, where Phelps attended a party back in November, Lieutenant Chris Cowan is trying to find information that can forward the police in this case. He said, "As soon as we're ready to release information on this case we will and we're still in the middle of this investigation." The photo was published on February 1st, and Phelps has issued a public apology, acknowledging his regrettable and "bad judgement" behavior. The police have arrested two boys for the University of South Carolina, who they believe that they had something to do with the same party that Phelps attended. However the boys attorneys think different. One of the lawyers said, "Our clients answered questions but I don't know that their information would be helpful to law enforcement. It seems to me the Richland County has a host of its own crime problems much more serious than a kid featured in a photograph with a bong in his hand." So far their have been about eight arrests related to this case.
