Lucas also posted his own account of the ordeal on his Facebook.

"Today, Daniele Watts & I were accosted by police officers after showing our affection publicly," Daniele's husband wrote. "From the questions that he asked me as D was already on her phone with her dad, I could tell that whoever called on us (including the officers), saw a tatted RAWKer white boy and a hot bootie shorted black girl and thought we were a HO (prostitute) & a TRICK (client).
