We here at Forced Entry know some people, that know some people, that live in Canada, and work for a local campus newspaper. Fortunately for us, these people are quite gossipy about their job. Unfortunately for them, they don't know we run a website which has no qualms with putting their job in jeopardy.Personally, I have no idea who this guy is, but apparently he's something of a b-celebrity in Vancouver.
Apparently there is a struggle from this guy's PR girl to suppress this story, as this would really harm his reputation. There was even talk of a monetary exchange in order to keep this story under wraps, which according to our source isn't all that uncommon for a college newspaper with very little power and distribution.

To the article:
Actor/Comedian Eric Violette was formally charged with carrying unregistered loaded firearms and $1.7 Million worth of raw heroin in his truck.
Police patrolling the University of British Columbia campus in Vancouver stopped the man best known for his comedic parody songs in the FreeCreditReport.com commercials on March 28th, after noticing the 31 year-old's vehicle was missing both its license plates. What they eventually found inside the car was much more surprising than the absent tags.
A campus police spokesperson confirmed that the French-Canadian Violette, accompanied at the time by an eleven year-old boy whose name was withheld for legal reasons, was formally charged for carrying unregistered loaded guns as well as narcotics with the intention to distribute, following an earlier arrest for investigation of unlawfully carrying firearms in 2005.
Violette is due to appear in court on Wednesday, where he is expected to be arraigned on two separate charges. He is currently free on $50,000 bail, the campus police spokesperson said.
According to authorities, the campus cop who stopped his leased Chevy Tahoe spotted a gun inside the vehicle, peeking out from under the driver's seat. A subsequent search of the car turned up another weapon from under the front passenger seat, where the child was seated, and the aforementioned bags of raw heroin in the glove compartment.

You're very funny!! I don't know where you take your ideas. You must write a false movie about my life.
Take care.
Love
Eric Violette
I never thought someone could write something so crazy about my brother.
It is really funny, but not true at all.
I do not know what is the utility of writing such things, especially when this is so far away from Eric's personality.
To te writer of this article: Please my friend, you can do better work than that because this is, excuse my french, all "bullshit".

You people are amazing. You should really check your sources before printing something like this. I guess you need to use his name to drive traffic to your little webpage. Joke or no joke, I would take this down if I were you as this paints a very nasty picture of this guy who obviously is doing something positive with his life, unlike you. Not to mention the fact that he could take legal action against you and the owner of this site for printing something so damaging which is obviously a lie.
im the 11 year old boy that this person talked about. there wasnt any drugs in the car when the cop pulled us over and there wasnt any guns ether
i dont know how htis person found out about the cop but she is lieing about that stuff
Just as an observer:
1)As a "journalist" are you printing heresay or did you actually check out your sources?
2)I've read all posts and other than an observation made by one as to the rights of this individual and responsibility of the writer of this article, where are the legal threats? C'mon...that's really stretching it don't you think?
Eric,
Whenever you're ready to pursue a libel suit against the writer of this article, please contact me. I'm willing to work pro bono. I've already reported this blog to the proper internet authorities. If a retraction, a full apology and removal of the article are not immediately forthcoming, we can get this case moving rather quickly. Similar cases have reached punitive damages settlements up to $1.2 million. Just let me know by a post on this site whether you want to proceed and I will contact you through your agent.
Yes Jessica,I commend you for defending your brother Eric. Whether they are true or False I have no idea.And I'll pardon your french,but isn't "all Bullshit" really English.I figured being French Canadian you would know that. Just food for thought.
