Django Unchained actress faces lewd conduct charge

An actress who alleged she was detained by Los Angeles police because of racial profiling after being found in a parked car with her boyfriend has been charged with committing a lewd act in public.

Daniele Watts, who appeared in Quentin Tarantino's film Django Unchained, was handcuffed after refusing to show ID.
Police said its officers had responded to a report that a couple were exposed indecently inside a silver Mercedes.
Both Watts and her boyfriend have been charged with one count of lewd conduct.
The 28-year-old African-American actress and her white partner, Brian James Lucas, face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 (£621) fine if convicted.
Both remain free pending a further case hearing due to take place on 13 November
