Will Smith Gets Probed By Police Officers After Slapping Chris Rock At The Oscars.

Hollywood actor, Will Smith has been visited by officers of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department on Tuesday March 29, two days after the actor slapped Chris Rock on-stage during the 2022 Oscars.

Officers were spotted driving into the gates of the Smiths Calabasas mansion in a marked patrol car at 2:40 p.m. Tuesday, American news outlet, Splash News reported as they snapped photos of the police vehicle. 

Deputy Lizette Salcon, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, told Page Six that officers arrived after a drone was reported flying through the neighbourhood.

Salcon said;

“We just sent that unit over there to try to locate the drone and see if there was a paparazzi or what was going on.

“But when the deputies got there, they weren’t able to locate the drone. It had already left the area.”

She did not confirm whether it was the Smiths who reported the drone. It was not clear yet if the Smith family had approached the police, or their neighbour had done so.
