Brolin, Others in W Cast Busted in Bar Brawl

Posted Jul 13, 08 11:24 CDT in Arts & Living Crime & Courts Gossip 

(Newser) – Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright, actors filming Oliver Stone's W in Louisiana, were among the cast and crew members arrested after a barroom tussle, reports the Shreveport Times. The busted thespians had interfered with police attempts to subdue a fellow patron, and were charged with interfering with police. Brolin was released after paying $334 bail.

A Shreveport police spokesman said one thing has been unusual about the bust: publicity. “I’ve heard from National Enquirer, Entertainment Tonight, Extra, the New York Post and a few other national outlets. Lots of people have called.”
