The South Carolina sheriff who investigated Michael Phelps’ bong use dolled himself up the other day in a bullet-proof vest, three medals and a blond wig with pigtails. Speaking before a local Rotary club, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott poked fun at Newsweek for describing his hair as blond, The State newspaper reports. (In Newsweek’s defense, his hair does look blond on his department’s site. I called the office to ask what color it really is but did not get an immediate response.) At the Rotary Club, Lott spoke earnestly and at length about his decisions in the Phelps case and the dangers of drugs – wig atop his head all the while.
