Phelps in Trouble?

Originally posted by craiglll@yahoo.com there is a principle in our country called "innocent until proven guilty." Also, I can't find any mention of any testing having been done at the site or later. Does anyone know if the police did any testing to check alcohol levels or sobriety reactions? In every report I have read about this, it states that the policeman saw signs of behavior simular to that from alcohol comsumption. I haven't seen anything to indicate that he was tested to be legally drunk. Or doesn't that matter in Maryland. He failed a sobriety test, according to the New York Times. It has not been released whether a blood alcohol level was checked. As for innocent until proven guilty, he has admitted he made a mistake and stated that he would "own up to the charges against him." And I don't believe that Maryland is a police state.
