Stray Cats: Actors Josh Brolin, Jeffrey Wright and Others Arrested in Shreveport Bar Incident

I was hoping to discover that a bunch of cajuns realized that these actors were involved in Oliver Stone’s god-awful “W” project and decided to kick their asses but apparently the celebrity types were just being…celebrities:

Workers at the Stray Cat Bar tell KSLA News 12 they asked Brolin, his co-star Jeffrey Wright, and about five other crew members to leave the bar twice.

When they didn’t leave, they say bartenders called downtown police who responded just after two in the morning.

Police reports list officers arresting a 29-year-old Eric Felland for remaining in the bar, resisting arrest, and public drunkenness. Officers say five others who were hanging out with Felland, including both 40-year-old Brolin and 42-year-old Wright, interfered with the arrest. Police charged them with just that — interfering with an officer.

A man who works the graveyard shift at a nearby downtown business says he saw most of the incident, where he claims there were at least four police cars and several bicycle police on scene.

“I’ve seen my share of disturbances and for the most part the cops just send them on their way, but that was the first time I’ve seen that many people at once get escorted into cars, I mean I think it was getting to the point where the cops were checking with each other to see who had room to put [people] in,” said downtown worker Anthony Thompson.

The movie that they were working on also sounds like a crime in progress:

Stone has said the film, which will focus on the life and presidency of Bush, won’t be an anti-Bush polemic, but, as he told Daily Variety, “a fair, true portrait of the man. How did Bush go from being an alcoholic bum to the most powerful figure in the world?”
