Josh Brolin's mug shot

Actor Josh Brolin was arrested on Saturday night after getting into a bar brawl in Shreveport, Lousiana. The actor is in town filming the George W. Bush biopic W. Us Weekly says:

The 40-year-old actor was busted around 2 a.m. at the Stray Cat bar after he and several others (including actor Jeffrey Wright) tried to impede police officers as they attempted to break up the fight, The Shreveport Times claims.

Brolin - who plays President Bush in the Oliver Stone movie - and Wright - who plays Colin Powell - were slapped with a misdemeanor change of interfering with police. Brolin was booked in city jail and posted $334 cash bond, the Times reports. (Source)

After Hurricane Katrina, playing the President in Louisiana is about as popular as playing Michael Richards at a NAACP convention. If Josh really wanted to be left alone by the law, he should have taken on a role as someone they could give two shits about in that part of the country, like Darwin . . . or a dentist.
