After Being Wrongfully Detained, Wyclef Jean Says Police are Lying in Report
Wyclef Jean was wrongfully detained by Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies early Tuesday when they mistook him for an armed robbery suspect. The LASD later issued an apology, but Wyclef told TMZ that their statement is intentionally misleading.

"The sheriff report says that I had my hands up, that I went for...in the trunk. This information is not accurate," Jean says.

He goes on to offer a macro view of his experience. "The sad part about this, I tell my daughter when you are stopped by police, this is exactly how you're supposed to act. Stay calm, stay vigilant. Do not curse back at the police. I did all of that."
