 Michael Phelps: Explaining pot pics to momma "wasn't easy"
Young American Olympian Michael Phelps admits it "definitely wasn't easy" explaining those pot pics to his mom, Debbie, a middle-school principal.
"Seeing my mom reminded me of how it was the day after I got my DUI, and I swore to myself I'd never do that again," Phelps -- who was arrested in 2004 at age 19 for DUI -- told the Baltimore Sun.
"We've been talking a lot," said Phelps, 23, adding that he's been spending the past several days with his mother and sisters. "I've been able to get back to my family. It's part of my life I need back."
Michael Phelps continued: "It's something I am going to have to live with, and something I'll have to grow from."
"This was stupid, and I know this won't happen again," he added.
The State newspaper of Columbia, South Carolina reported Tuesday that, the swimmer could face criminal charges.
A South Carolina law enforcement official said he would charge Phelps if he could prove the U.S. Olympian smoked marijuana in his county. "This case is no different than any other case," Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said.
The 14-time gold medalist hit the pool Tuesday, making his first public appearance since the photos surfaced over the weekend.
