POLICE SUBMIT JOSH BROLIN VIDEO TAPE

Police officers who arrested Hollywood actors Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright have submitted a video of the alleged bar brawl in Louisiana to legal officials for review. Cast and crew of Oliver Stone's forthcoming George Bush biopic "W" were celebrating its finish on Saturday when they allegedly got involved in a fight between revelers at the Stray Cat bar in Shreveport. Brolin, Wright and five other crew members were arrested by the police. Chief Henry Whitehorn has since submitted video footage of the alleged incident to the city prosecutor's office, which will decide whether to proceed with the charges. Whitehorn says the footage has come from patrol car cameras and audio from officers' microphones, however he would not elaborate on the content. Wright and Brolin were arrested at 2 a.m. after they allegedly tried to impede local police officers who were breaking up a brawl.The pair received misdemeanor charges for interfering with police and posted a $334 cash bond the same night.They are all due back in court on December 2.
