*pictures George Clooney in handcuffs*
I'm sorry, what were we talking about?
This was all over the news here today (when they could take a break from talking about college basketball) because IIRC George's dad Nick was also involved and also arrested. George is still considered a local boy and Nick, of course, is just as well known here due to his time as a prominent local newsman. Among folks older than me they probably think of George as "Nick's boy, the actor" instead of tossing Nick's name in as "and oh his dad was there too."
