OLYMPIC MEDALIST GETS 4 MONTHS FOR SELLING POT

Olympic gold medalist Justin Huish must serve four months in jail
after pleading no contest to a felony charge that he sold marijuana
out of his Simi Valley home.

The 1996 archery champion could have received up to three years in
prison. But citing Huish's lack of a criminal record, Ventura County
Superior Court Judge Herbert Curtis on Wednesday decided on the
lesser sentence.

Prosecutors said they were satisfied, noting that Huish, 25, seemed
remorseful. He must report to jail July 11.

Huish, who pleaded no contest last month, was arrested Feb. 15, 2000,
after police witnessed an apparent drug deal outside his home.
