Michael Phelps may have a problem. Not only is this the second time in his short life that he’s been arrested for DUI, but the story gets a little more disturbing. Before his DUI arrest, Phelps had been gambling at a Baltimore casino for eight straight hours.
According to sources at the Horseshoe Casino, Phelps arrived around 5pm and remained in a private gambling room until around 1am when he left. Phelps was reportedly playing blackjack, and he’s also a regular at the casino. He was there not even a month ago to play poker. It is also reported that he was drinking beer while at the casino, which makes sense. If you’re drinking beer for eight hours, there’s a good chance you’ve passed the .08 legal limit.
Phelps was pulled over around 1:40am and was only a few miles away from where the Horseshoe Casino is located. It sounds like Phelps needs an intervention.
