Smollett gave false information in 2007 case
 

CHICAGO (AP) — The Latest on the attack reported by Jussie Smollett (all times local): 8:25 p.m. A California misdemeanor complaint against Jussie Smollett shows the actor was accused of identifying himself as his younger brother in 2007 when a Los Angeles police officer pulled him over on suspicion of driving under the influence.



The misdemeanor complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court in September 2007 says that Smollett gave the name of his brother, Jake Smollett, when he was asked by an officer. He also signed a false name on the promise to appear in court. Smollett also was later charged with false impersonation, driving under the influence and driving without a valid license.

Court records show Smollett pleaded no contest to the reduced charge of giving false information, in addition to driving under the influence and driving without a valid license counts. The records show he later completed an alcohol education and treatment program and completed the terms of his sentence in May 2008.

The details of the complaint were first reported by NBC News.

4:50 p.m.

A Chicago police spokesman says two brothers who were arrested and later released from custody in connection with the attack reported by "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett have met with police and prosecutors at the courthouse.

Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said the meeting happened Tuesday in Chicago. He also said that officers have determined a tip that the two men may have been in an elevator with Smollett last month was not credible. He said video evidence helped them make that determination.

Smollett says two masked men hurled racial and homophobic slurs at him, beat him and looped a rope around his neck.

Last week, police announced that the "investigation had shifted" following interviews with the brothers and their release from custody without charges. Police have requested another interview with Smollett.

I love it when Liberals lie..

They're so self destructive.

What a piece of shit. I get that the little drama queen had a bad case of TDS motivating his hate hoax but it takes a real scumbag to fuck with family.

:2 cents:

I love it that you guys always rage about your newest and latest boogeyman that you didn't know existed 2 month prior. You guys are such stupid fools. Always outraged about whatever your right wing talking heads tell you to be outraged about.

Gee 1 black guy who was successful got caught doing something wrong & lying.. OMG they all must be bad see we aren't racist see!!!


Meanwhile your talking heads lie to you everyday and use you for their bidding and zero outrage when you find out they lied to you..

It's not just 1 black guy.. there's tons of cases like his fabricating stuff just to try and make Trump look bad.

If Clinton won.. nobody would be doing stuff like this.. They would have just accepted it.. Liberals are trash. Bottom of the barrel trash that can't get any stinkier. Cheaters, liars, Hypocrites, whiners,

The social justice fake outrage is deep with the russian alt-right hate fake nic troll regarding the Gay black actor Jussie Smollett

He's the trifecta of what they hate:

Gay

Black

Actor

There is also tons of white people committing crimes everyday. There is tons of right wing media fabricating fake news day in and out.. Yet this never outrages you..

You = Fake American..

TDS has you so fucked up you're even making shit up about your own race. You're probably one of these retards praying for the extinction of whites.

He'd fit in on Chump's staff. We all know how they love to give false info

No trump supporters have ever lied.

No trump supporters have ever been to jail.

Right? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Criminal trump supporters have a purity test for liberals or Gays or blacks or Hollywood actors or non christians or foreigners. Imagine that :evil-laug

It's ok for Trump to publicly lie, cheat, steak etc but "I'll be damned" if it ok for a Gay, black, Hollywood actor to do the same. :evil-laug
