MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Anthony Anderson, the rotund comedic co-star of "Kangaroo Jack" and the original "Barbershop," has been arrested and charged with aggravated rape while shooting a movie.
The 33-year-old actor was accused by an unidentified woman of luring her into a trailer on the set of his latest movie, "Hustle & Flow," and sexually assaulting her. Also accused is the film's assistant director, Wayne Witherspoon.
Both men were charged on Wednesday after being taken into custody by the Shelby County Sheriff's Department.
The incident occurred Tuesday afternoon at the Shelby County Correctional Center, a penal farm on the outskirts of Memphis, where filming was under way for the movie.
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Shular said a passer-by heard screams coming from the trailer and opened the door.
"And she ran out nude," Shular said.
