BREAKING NEWS:
Cerritos, CA:
Two attorneys for controversial Anti-Islamic film maker Nakoula Bassele Nakoula arrived at the Park Street home that has been the focal point for scores of media during the past three days.
At around 2:10 p.m. several deputies from the Cerritos Sheriff’s Station arrived in a motorcade to escort a dark-colored sports utility vehicle through a maze of reporters, neighbors, and other on lookers to the home of Nakoula.
The attorneys, who were not identified were swarmed by media members and followed the two to the front door of Nakoula’s two-story residence.
Los Cerritos Community Newspaper has learned that several members of Nakoula’s family are with him inside the location.
Just minutes to the arrival of the two attorneys, two key Cerritos city officials, City Manager Art Gallucci and Community Safety Director Greg Berg showed up to witness the situation.
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore told LCCN that he was notified about the meeting between Nakoula and his attorney’s “just minutes before they arrived.”
“We can confirm that they are Attorney’s, and we will have no further comment at this time.”
