LUCAS' SON SUES NEW YORK POLICE
The son of notorious 1970s drug lord FRANK LUCAS, a wannabe rapper, is suing the New York Police Department for excessive force and harassment following an arrest on Staten Island.
Frank Lucas Jr., whose father was portrayed by Denzel Washington in the film American Gangster, claims he was a victim of racial profiling in March (08), when police discovered marijuana in a vehicle driven by his manager, who is white.
Lucas claims that police officers hurled insults at him when they discovered the identity of his father.
The aspiring rapper tells the New York Daily News, "I have no desire to be American Gangster Jr. As far as I'm concerned, I'm definitely not proud of a lot of things my father did to rise out of his circumstances."
Lucas and his manager were charged with misdemeanour possession of marijuana. They pleaded guilty to the charges after spending two nights behind bars.
