'James Bond' Director Tamahori Arrested
Friday February 3 12:27 AM ET
"James Bond" director Lee Tamahori was ordered to appear in court Feb.
24 following his arrest for allegedly approaching an undercover police
officer and offering to perform a sex act for money, authorities said
Thursday.
Tamahori's directing credits include Pierce Brosnan's 2002 James Bond
film "Die Another Day" and last year's "xXx: State of the Union,"
starring Ice Cube and Samuel L. Jackson.
City attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan said the director was dressed in
a black wig and off-the-shoulder dress when he approached an undercover
police officer in Hollywood on Jan. 8 and offered to perform sex for
money. He was arrested for investigation of soliciting an act of
prostitution and loitering with the intent to commit prostitution, both
misdemeanors.
His attorney, Mark Geragos, did not immediately return a call for
comment Thursday.
Mateljan said police were running a prostitution sting when Tamahori,
55, approached the officer, who was sitting in a car.
The director was originally scheduled for arraignment Thursday but it
was postponed until Feb. 24.
Tamahori is free on $2,000 bail. He could face up to six months in jail
and a $1,000 fine if convicted

Geragos? The guy that defended Scott Peterson and Michael Jackson? That's
hysterical!

"...Bond's eyes narrowed. He knew, at some point, he would have to slay this
particular dragon. He settled back in his chair, removing a Morlands' three
ring special from the gunmetal cigarette case. As he waited for the
delicious Balkan/Turkish blend to take effect on his lungs, he reflected
that even in his current state, Johnny Cochran would have been a wiser
choice..."
