Josh Brolin by Christian Thomas/WireImage.com
As if the film subject wasn't controversial enough, now several actors and crew members from Oliver Stone's forthcoming W biopic were arrested outside the Stray Cats bar in Shreveport, LA. early Saturday morning. Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men) and Jeffrey Wright (Syriana) were arrested for coming to the defense of a crew member, Eric Felland, who had just been busted for public intoxication and resisting detainment. Apparently, Felland who was acting a little too rowdy at the bar, was asked to leave but refused. Enter the police — and instead of leaving peacefully, Brolin, Wright and other crew members decided it would be a better idea to pull Felland away from cops. After being charged with misdemeanors, the actors and crew were released on bond. Raise your hand if you're not surprised that Josh Brolin's in trouble with the law again. At least he had some company this time around.Do you think Brolin and crew got off easy? — Erin FoxRelated• Oliver Stone Direct...
