ENCHILADA, Mexico (WNB) - Mexican officials confirm that actor Sean Penn under investigation following the publishing of a controversial interview with fugitive Mexican drug lord, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
El Chapo ("The Chapstick") had been on the run for months after escaping a Mexican prison. Penn apparently worked to conceal his location while interviewing him for the article. Mexican police and military recaptured Guzman on Friday after a bloody gunbattle that killed 5 of his bodyguards and injured a police officer.
Penn is denying any wrongdoing. "Outside of having sex with Madonna, this accusation is the worst thing that's ever happened to me. I'm 100% f*cking innocent."
In a possibly related story, Los Angeles police are investigating who is responsible for storing over 28 tons of marijuana in a rental house owned by actor Sean Penn.
