84 mph in a 45, 2 times over the legal limit, still says sorry. haha
you make 55 million for swiming, but you cant get a ride home from a sexy girl at the party? or have your range rover picked up by a tow truck after you get arrested? haha
"BALTIMORE (WJZ)—The most decorated Olympian of all-time, Michael Phelps, has been arrested for driving under the influence. It happened overnight right here in Baltimore after Maryland Transportation Authority police stopped him for speeding.
MDTA police confirm the 29-year-old swimming superstar was arrested around 1:40 a.m. Tuesday.
After an officer’s radar clocked a 2014 white Land Rover on I-395 south going 84 mph in a 45 mph zone, the officer followed the car onto I-95 north and pulled it over just as it passed the Fort McHenry Tunnel toll plaza.
Police say Phelps was at the wheel and appeared to be under the influence. He was unable to perform satisfactorily on a series of field sobriety tests and was arrested and charged with DUI, excessive speed and crossing double lane lines within the Fort McHenry Tunnel on I-95 in Baltimore. He was later released.
MDTA police say Phelps was cooperative throughout his arrest.
On Tuesday afternoon, Phelps released a statement via Twitter, saying “Earlier this morning, I was arrested and charged with DUI, excessive speeding and crossing double lane lines. I understand the severity of my actions and take full responsibility. I know these words may not have much meaning right now but I am deeply sorry to everyone I have let down.”
Ten years ago, Phelps found himself in a similar situation.
The then 19-year-old swimmer was stopped near Salisbury University after running a stop sign. Salisbury Police charged him with DUI, DWI, violation of a license restriction and failure to obey a stop sign."
