Josh Brolin arrested … George W.

Posted July 14 by Scott in Actors Arrested

“Actors Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright, in Shreveport for the filming of producer Oliver Stone’s “W.,” and five others were arrested early Saturday during fight at a downtown nightspot, setting off publicity from the U.S. to Australia and Singapore.

Officers were called to the Stray Cat, a bar in the 200 block of Travis Street, just after 2 a.m. to deal with a rowdy patron, according to a Shreveport police patrol report.

As more officers arrived, several other patrons at the bar, including Brolin and fellow actor Jeffrey Wright, tried to impede the officers, according to the report. In all, the report lists 10 officers called to the ruckus.

Brolin, Wright and four other people were charged with interfering with police, a misdemeanor.

City Jail booking records show Brolin had $130 in his possession he had to hand over to police in addition to his driver’s license, a belt, a cell phone, a lighter, a ring, his wallet and a watch.

He was released from jail after posting a $334 cash bond, at which time he could reclaim his belongings.

Detective Rod Demery, working as Shreveport police public information officer over the weekend, said sending officers to handle unruly bar patrons isn’t unusual.
“It’s a common call we receive quite often.”

Very smooth Josh Brolin… are you still playing up your ‘W’ antics even after you have finished with the movie?
