Denver prosecutors have asked a judge to dismiss a case against Marlon Wayans stemming from a luggage dispute with an airline employee. The Black actor and comedian says the employee targeted him because of his race. The city attorney’s office made the request in a court filing Friday. It comes a day after Wayans asked for the case to be dismissed.
FILE - Marlon Wayans attends the “Marlon” FYC Event at UCB Theatre, June 6, 2018, in Los Angeles. In a court filing Thursday, Oct. 19, 2023, Denver prosecutors have asked a judge to dismiss a case against Marlon Wayans stemming from a luggage dispute with an airline employee that the actor and comedian said targeted him because of his race. The city attorney’s office made the request in a court filing Friday, Oct. 20, 2023.
One of Wayans’ lawyers, David M. Beller, said a judge has granted the request. He applauded the city’s decision. While Wayans was working to rearrange his luggage, the gate agent kept allowing white passengers with three bags to board the flight, according to the court filing, which included still photos from surveillance video of white passengers with yellow arrows pointing to each of their bags. About 140 people boarded the flight, the filing said, many with three bags and oversized bags that violated the airline’s policy.
The police officers who investigated were doubtful that any crime had been committed, according to Wayans’ filing, but the gate agent asked that charges be pursued.
