Live and let live I say. What a boob this Sheriff is. As if he could get evidence of possession weeks after the alleged incident. For that matter, just because he is famous, now they start picking at him. If he was still back at college, and unknown he would not be so interesting. Just another "My college days" memory. This is just another case of media glory hunting, and harassment.
