Olympic legend, Michael Phelps was arrested for driving under the influence in Baltimore, Maryland on Tuesday morning. Cops pulled his Range Rover over at about 1:40 a.m. for going 84 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone.
Phelps failed a field sobriety test, with a blood-alcohol level almost twice the legal limit. He was charged with DUI, excessive speeding and crossing double lane lines. He was taken into custody, booked, and eventually released.
This is not the first time Phelps has been in trouble with the law. In 2004, he was arrested for DUI when he was 19 years old. He struck a deal with prosecutors and plead guilty in exchange for 18 months probation.
Phelps is the most decorated Olympian in history and recently returned to swimming after a brief retirement.
