Anti-Islamic Film Maker Nakoula Basseley Nakoula has been taken to the Cerritos Sheriff’s Station by law enforcement officials just after midnight.
Nakoula is reported to be the film maker who was behind the video being blamed for sparking violent unrest in at least two dozen countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
Nakoula was escorted by deputies from his Park Street home as members of the media took photos of one of the most sought after people in the world.
Nakoula is not under arrest, and is not currently being charged with any crimes, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said. He is being interviewed by federal probation officials at the Cerritos Sheriff Station that is located around a mile from his home.
Los Cerritos Community Newspaper is at the Cerritos Sheriff’s Station and will have updates as they develop.
NBC4 in Los Angeles provided a photo of Nakoula to Los Cerritos Community Newspaper. He was wearing a pair of glasses, a hat, and a white scarf to cover his identity.
“Disgusting and reprehensible.” said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. “Truly abhorrent,” an outraged White House official told an international conference.

I’m totally confused. If you are the only Cerritos newspaper (aren’t you the only community newspaper??) to have covered this WORLDWIDE event, then why dont you have any photos or video of this? Why are you relying on this crappy screenshot from NBC?
Your confusion confuses me. Yes we are the only newspaper in Cerritos and that is the key…. we write articles not shoot videos. There was 15 news outlets there so you can easily find a video of the scene. We had three articles on the story and had the story in the 9/14 newspaper, when everything occurred Thursday night, not even the Press Telegram had a story. We have many friends at NBC I am very happy they gave us their picture.
Seriously?
People are dead.
A neighborhood fears for it’s safety and this poster is complaining about the quality of a photograph?
