Back in July, actor Josh “W.” Brolin, his W co-star Jeffery “Colin Powell” Wright, and members of the movie crew were arrested in Shreveport, LA after a celebration of the movie’s completion got a little out of hand at a local bar.
As we’ve previously mentioned, cops were called to settle a disturbance caused by one of the movie’s crew members and actors Brolin and Wright were pepper sprayed/arrested when they tried to intervene!!
Today, Tuesday, lawyers representing Josh appeared in a Shreveport court on behalf of the actor to face the misdemeanor charge of interfering with police during the arrest of his W. buddy. He faced up to six months in jail and/or a fine of $500 if convicted as charged, according to the city’s prosecutor’s office.
Well, the actor was granted a district attorney’s probation. If he goes until March 11 without getting in further trouble, the charges will be dismissed.
It’s reported that the others charged in the incident also got DA’s probation, with no court costs or fines assessed.
Shreveport went easy on the Hollywood kids!
So, is it safe to assume that there’s truth to the claim that a video of Shreveport cops yelling a racial slur at Wright exists?
