The 'Bro' gets pro

Here's the latest update on The Shreve's Best Bar Brawl from 2008. (Thanks for the votes, readers. My New Year's Eve party came in third.)

"W." stars Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright got D.A.'s probation their July misdemeanors.

From Loresha Wilson of The Times: "After months of buildup, the matter of Josh Brolin's part in a fight in Shreveport last year seems to have been settled with an agreement made even before his attorneys appeared in a Shreveport court today.

"Represented in court by a Los Angeles attorney and local lawyer Ron Miciotto, the actor who portrayed President George W. Bush in the Oliver Stone movie 'W.' was granted district attorney's probation, under which if he goes until March 11 without getting in further trouble the charges will be dismissed."

As part of an ongoing public records request, Times reporters are working to get the dashboard cam videos of the arrests. When we get them, I'll post 'em.

In the meantime, you can see the cellphone video of the incident at TMZ.com.

you took the words out my mouth

where was the big fight Glover was speaking of and what did anyone do to get treated like violent criminals?

why don't the police go after the violence in shreveport as aggressively as they go after frivilous complaints?
