“Empire” actor Jussie Smollett has been charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report about an attack he said occurred as he walked to his apartment building in Streeterville last month.

The charge, a felony, was announced by the Cook County state’s attorney’s office Wednesday evening, hours after police called Smollett “a suspect in a criminal investigation … for filing a false police report.”

Earlier in the day, attorneys for Smollett, 36, met with prosecutors and detectives but it was unclear if the actor was present, according to police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi. The lawyers, Todd Pugh and Victor P. Henderson, could not be reached for comment. They have been joined by high-profile, Los Angeles-based lawyer Mark Geragos who has represented numerous celebrities, including pop star Michael Jackson, R&B singer Chris Brown and actress Winona Ryder.

On Tuesday, two brothers who had been under arrest in the case appeared at the criminal courthouse, also to talk to prosecutors and detectives, authorities said. They and their attorney, Gloria Schmidt, were seen near the grand jury rooms Tuesday afternoon, but police said they did not appear before a grand jury.

You can't help yourself from LYING, can you? I quoted you, word for word, and asked you a question. I did NOT make a misleading post!

and yet, still no answer to my question. So obviously, there was nothing misleading about it. Why are you so afraid to answer a simple question?

never mind all the expense of investigating etc etc

And never mind the 18 people who were murdered in Chicago while the police were investigating this.
