Keanu Reeves inside NY jails
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - September 15, 2009 The star of "The Matrix" film trilogy spent last weekend
scouting locations for a new film. His visit included tours of two
jail facilities that are the target of a U.S. Justice Department
lawsuit accusing the Erie County Sheriff's Department of civil
rights violations.
County officials have barred federal investigators from the
jails, but Reeves was given tours of the facilities on Sunday.
Afterward county officials said Reeves shouldn't have been
allowed inside the jails.
Reeves was checking out possible film locations for "Henry's
Crime," which casts him as toll booth worker wrongly accused of
robbing a Buffalo bank.
