An actress who accused Los Angeles police of racially profiling her after she was accused of having sex with her boyfriend in a parked car last year was ordered Monday to apologize to officers.
Daniele Watts, best known for her appearance in the 2012 film "Django Unchained," pleaded no contest to disturbing the peace with loudness and was ordered to write an apology to three police officers and the occupants of a building near where she was briefly detained this past September in Studio City, Calif.
As part of their plea deal, Watts and her boyfriend, Brian Lucas, were also ordered to perform 40 hours each of community service, according to the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office. The case will be dismissed and not appear in public records if the pair remain out of trouble for one year.
Watts and Lucas were also charged with lewd conduct, but that count was dismissed Monday.
Police officers were investigating a report of two people having sex in a car on Sept. 11 when they questioned Watts and Lucas. Watts claimed they were just kissing and accused the officers of racial bias. The pair were eventually released.
