Duh…
Um yeah, it’s kind of hard to convict a guy of smoking a bong at a party 4 months ago. That’s just one of many reasons that literally everyone in the world thought this was a terrible idea. Lott’s press conference was supremely lame, as he played the role of a valiant public servant caught in an epic "damned if you do, damned if you don’t" conundrum. As if anybody was going to give him a hard time for failing to launch a massive investigation against a misdemeanor marijuana suspect who couldn’t even be legally extradited because the charge was so petty.
Anyhow, it’s probably safe to say the Michael Phelps mega-controversy will likely begin fizzling out from here, unless he gets caught free-basing bubble hash on YouTube.
Lott said his investigators couldn't find enough evidence to charge anyone — including Phelps — who attended the party with any crime. [The State]

American Hero
So Michael Phelps is a guy who drinks at parties smokes a little gambles on high stakes games of beer pong and is the all time greatest Olympic medal winner he sounds like a pretty cool guy to me. Michael Phelps is an American Hero. He stood tall and made America proud at the Beijing Olympics. This is how he is treated. Michael Phelps did a tremendous amount of work to achive what he did. Who can forget the pride we felt with the each gold medal Phelps won in China, how can we as Americans forget all of those things and hang a man for smoking a glass water pipe at a college party. It is time that we as a country stand up for the rights of the individual, it’s time we stand together with our neighbors and take collective control of our destinies. Write any congressman or a senator; imagine the weight of millions of emails calling for a change in policy. Lets stop them from arresting college kids at parties in America.
Emails do not work, we must do something more

What about the other 8?
We need to follow the stories of the 8 other victims of Lott's criminal mercantilism. They were arrested, and are being charged with 'crimes' involving these criminal laws, if not necessarily for the party where Phelps smoked.
Lott is violating their civil rights- a term which we hear so infrequently since the 1970s.
If Lott violated some proceedure in doing so, the story continues...
sherriff lott
is a dispicable profiteer in human misery and should be fired for trying to arrest anyone for marijuana

Lott is an thug/idiot. What's with this SWAT mentality? Victims should be able to sue when cops break laws and injure/kill or wrongly invade peoples homes--especially for grass related issues. Save Lives and money, end Prohibition Now.
