Just after midnight, authorities descended on the Cerritos home of the man believed to be the filmmaker behind the anti-Muslim movie that has sparked protests and rioting in the Arab world.
Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies escorted a man believed to be Nakoula Basseley Nakoula to an awaiting car. The man declined to answer questions on his way out and wore a hat and a towel over his face. He kept his hands in the pocket of a winter coat.
Sheriff's officials could not be reached by The Times, but department spokesman Steve Whitmore told NBC4 that deputies assisting the federal probation department took Nakoula to the sheriff's substation in Cerritos for interviewing.
Authorities waited until most media had left for the day.
Earlier Friday, sheriffs deputies had to escort attorneys through a scrum of news cameras into Nakoulas home. This time, authorities only had to avoid a lone photographer for The Times and a few other lingering reporters.
Nakoula has told the Associated Press he was a logistics manager on the "Innocence of Muslims" movie, not the director. He told a Coptic bishop Thursday that he had no role in it, the clergyman told The Times.

Roger Moore should have been arrested for his bad acting as Bond bedding down Grace Jones.. Never mind, we will let him off with a citation for that one.
The days of free speech seem to be nixed right now. No matter what this guys past he still has the right to film what he wants. as per poop om Mary, piss Christ, & the movie that was a hit which depicted Jesus as having a love affair with Mary Magdalene...Islam is a disease.
Yep. I wonder if this guy taken into custody is just an optics "stooge".
And the Coptic Egyptian has no ties or background in the movie industry, only in the “gas station industry”.
I doubt he actually made the movie or if he did, it was under instructions from others. Who are they?
Nully - I don’t know if Whistling’s article is a good nutjob ping but I think it’s very interesting, something I’ve though all along - that the movie (if you can call it one) was made by Muzzies.
I’d post the article but don’t have time at the moment.
Must go look busy.
Exercising his freedom of speech.
I agree with you — there is something “fishy”
Have you read anything about connecting this (though Coptic Christian, thus far) to the American Christians? I see something foul about to come out of the White House for political reasons connecting this to the American Right, the Tea Party or somehow as they are capable of — to Romney. O and biden are laying low today plotting some kind of blame.
I think this entire fiasco was a false flag operation gone very, very wrong.
Well, I wonder if Ms Midler is a friend of Larry David who, in an episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm”, simulated urinating on a picture of Christ. Few seem to give a shit about this obscene factoid.
These scumbags don’t deserve any patronage whatsoever.
This is the single greatest display of Axelrod's control over MSM to date. It's astounding how far they've taken it. To the point of "arresting" a film maker. I should be more cynical, but I'm having a hard time understanding how the reporters so easily participate with this complete and utter farce. The depth of media corruption is still being plumbed as we speak.
Politically they are untouched, Romney somehow is the extremist, and Muslims can't be held responsible for their actions in the wake of a cartoonish movie.
The Obama cocoon spun by the media protects him. What will it hatch next?
The message the Obama administration is sending is very clear: Offend a federally designated victim group, and you will be harassed by the authorities.
1. Make a bad movie.
2. Put excerpts of it on YouTube.
3. ????
4. PROFIT!!!
Cheers!
LOL.
I got the message in 2007.
I check to make sure others have that message whenever the opportunity arises.
BTW, this is one of the best reads on the subject:

Such a disgrace that is. Is America still a land or free and brave? I’ve seen this movie on youtube. It is really of little artistic value but making it into a kind of prohibited art simply smells like a USSR from the 1930s. Will Obama institute re-education camps for people who offends islam?
ditto! hell of a post IM!
DID THE GOVERNMENT ARREST THE MAKERS OF THE MOVIE ABOUT THE ASSINATION OF GEORGE BUSH?
Larry Sinclair can vouch for that.
