Police Officer Visit Will Smith’s Home After He Slapped Chris Rock At The Oscars
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department paid Will Smith a visit on Tuesday, March 29, two days after the actor slapped Chris Rock on stage during the 2022 Oscars.
On Tuesday afternoon, photographers captured images of officers entering the Smiths’ Calabasas mansion in a marked patrol cruiser.
At 2:40 p.m., officers were seen driving into the Smiths Calabasas estate in a marked patrol car. As they grabbed images of the police cruiser on Tuesday, Splash News reported.
Officers arrived after a drone was spotted flying across the neighborhood, according to Deputy Lizette Salcon of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Salcon said; “We just sent that unit over there to try to locate the drone and see if there was a paparazzi or what was going on.
“But when the deputies got there, they weren’t able to locate the drone. It had already left the area.”
She did not confirm whether it was the Smiths who reported the drone. It was not clear yet if the Smith family had approached the police, or their neighbour had done so.
While Chris decided not to press charges, Steve Cooley, Los Angeles County District Attorney from 2000 to 2012, told the New York Post on Tuesday that Will could face legal consequences anyway.
“The [Los Angeles] city attorney could bring charges based upon the evidence without necessarily relying upon the victim,” Steve Cooley, the Los Angeles County District Attorney from 2000 to 2012, told The Post on Tuesday.
