Prosecutors are set to drop charges against W. stars Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright, over an altercation in a bar in Shreveport, Louisiana.  Blair Berk, an attorney for the actors, reported that prosecutors in the city agreed to drop the charges provided that both Brolin and Wright pay $130 each in court costs.

The charges were brought forward after Brolin and Wright were charged with interfering with police officers after a disturbance in a bar in the city in July 2007.  The actors were with crew members for W., which was shooting in the city.  One crew member started a fight and was asked by police to leave.  Both actors were pepper-sprayed by police in the resulting scuffle, with Wright also getting shocked from a Taser weapon.

Five other crew members were charged with interfering with police officers, but their charges will also be dropped, and will instead be replaced with less serious misdemeanor charges.
