YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThree US Olympic swimmers have been detained in Rio for filing a false armed robbery police report. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Brazilian police officials have recommended American swimmers Ryan Lochte and Jimmy Feigen be indicted on charges of reporting a false crime, according to local medial reports.
The swimmers would likely have to pay a fine if they are found guilty of providing false testimony or property damage but would not face prison time, police said earlier Thursday.
Police officials said Lochte, Feigen and teammates Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger had a gun pointed at them by a security officer after they vandalized a gas station bathroom, but were not victims of a robbery or other violence.
The swimmers damaged a door to a bathroom at a local gas station after arriving there in a taxi following a party early Sunday, police said. Video footage shows security confronting the swimmers. The group gave money for the broken door, and, police said, a security guard brandished a gun because he was concerned about the swimmers’ size and intoxication level.
One of the swimmers told investigators the group was not extorted and confirmed gas station employees’ version of the events, NBC reported. Conger and Bentz left the police station Thursday night.”*
