Jussie Smollett turned himself in to Chicago Police early this morning and is being charged with “Filing a False Police Report” about his now infamous Hate Crime Hoax. It’s a FELONY and he could be facing YEARS in PRISON. Police say he did it because he “wanted to make more money” on his TV show “Empire” because he’s such a “great actor”.

- Well, seeing as he GOT CAUGHT, I guess he’s NOT that great of an actor, huh?

I’ll be behind the mic from 2 to 4pm and 6 to 8pm along with Big Al, Jackie, Joe Noune and more of your Purtan’s People favorites. And it’s all to raise money to feed and shelter tens of thousands of Metro Detroiters EVERYDAY… 365 DAYS A YEAR! We encourage you to tune in or stop by… but most importantly, call in a Donation. You can even Donate RIGHT NOW by calling toll-free 833-725-4673. Any amount you can give will be so greatly appreciated and will have an immediate impact on our less fortunate neighbors. I was out on one of the Bread & Bread Trucks Tuesday and once again saw first hand the gratitude on the faces of those who were able to eat that day because of this amazing program. I’ll tell you more about it during the broadcast tomorrow! Did I mention you can Donate even NOW by calling 833-725-4673???

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Friday… Radiothon Day!
