Told his Mom?
I thought he was 32 years old.

Yikes, you’re right, RL is 32 years old. About a decade too old to be pulling stupid stunts like this, even if he is lacking a bit upstairs.
I thought he was 32 years old.
That is how the story got out. It first appeared in the US press because his mom was telling the story. Nobody reported a crime there that we are aware of. Once the story went international (it fits the meme that Brazil is a corrupt mess of crime), locals wanted to know what happened and the investigation began. THAT is what I understand about it. Lochte and Co. didn't go to the police. I am not aware that a crime was reported at the gas station.
Lochte was asked about the incident after reporters heard what his mom was saying about it.
