“Empire” actor Jussie Smollett is under arrest and in the "custody of detectives" Thursday morning, Chicago police Chief Communications Officer Anthony Guglielmi said. Smollett, who had felony criminal charges approved against him Wednesday, turned himself in to police, authorities said. The Cook County State's Attorney's Office approved the "Disorderly Conduct / Filing a False Police Report" charges. The following day, police said Smollett was no longer considered a victim in their investigation. Police earlier said that the "trajectory of the investigation" shifted and that they wanted to conduct another interview with Smollett about the alleged hate crime.
