Lamorne Morris found himself handcuffed and detained by police.
The comedian was at a nightclub with a friend, who reportedly got into an altercation with members of the club’s security staff. Morris’ friend’s face was bleeding when police arrived, and they proceeded to handcuff and arrest him.
Morris told police he didn’t understand why his friend was being handcuffed when he was the one who had been attacked. The actor took video of the incident on his phone, which reportedly led police to handcuff him as well.
“Now they’re arresting me! I play a fucking cop on TV and this is how you treat me?”
Morris was eventually released, with no charges pressed.
“It’s so fucking whack, man, that’s crazy to me. They walked up to the n***** that’s bleeding out the mouth and they put him in handcuffs. And I go, ‘Wait, somebody hit him in the mouth!’ And they go, ‘Well, someone said that he started something.' We are half a block away from the fucking spot! But you ain’t questioning nobody else? And the only other person you put in cuffs is the guy recording you? Alright.”
