Tom Hanks' son wanted by the police... again

Los Angeles - Chester 'Chet' Hanks is wanted by British police for smashing up a hotel room.

The 24-year-old rapper - who is the son of Forrest Gump actor Tom Hanks - reportedly caused £1200 worth of damage to the four-star room at Gatwick Airport, just outside of London, after three women refused to sleep with him.

After partying at a club in the capital, a source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "He then went back to the hotel with a British actor friend and three female promoters. He was sick in the car park and then went up to the room and got really loud.

"He asked the girls if they would join him in the bed, but they are not like that. So he started screaming and making a right noise. He saw some sprinkled make-up called banana powder and started asking 'who's got the coke?' But nobody did drugs there.

"He then started shouting that he was not going to share it with another man.

"Then all you could hear was this smashing and crashing. Next morning he was gone but the room was trashed. Everything was smashed and there was glass all over the floor."

The news comes just days after wannabe hip-hop star - who admitted in November he has battled substance abuse since the age of 16 - allegedly had his Instagram account suspended for using the n-word, hitting back in a separate post insisting he didn't do anything wrong because he believes in "FREE SPEECH (sic)."

If I say the word nigga I say it amongst people I love and who love me. If I say "fuck yall hatin ass niggaz" it's because that's really how I felt at the time. And I don't accept society getting to decide what ANYBODY can or can't say. That's something we call FREE SPEECH. Now I understand the older generation who grew up in the Jim Crowe era might have strong feelings against this. And that's understandable... But what I'm saying is this is 2015... And even tho we are still far from where we need to be and black people are still being literally KILLED by a RACIST and fucked up system... We have also reached a point where the word can no longer have a negative connotation if we so choose. And who is to say only black people can use it? The way I see it, it's a word that unifies the culture of HIP-HOP across ALL RACES, which is actually kind of a beautiful thing. It's a word that can be used out of camaraderie and love, not just exclusively for black people. What's the point in putting all these built up "rules" about it. It's time to let go. You can hate me or love me for it, but can't nobody tell me what I can or can't say. It's got nothing to do with trying to be a thug. It's about the culture of the music. And that's all I have to say about that (no pun intended) lol. It's all love. Some people will get it, some people won't. Either way, Ima keep living my life however the fuck I want. ALL LOVE.

Regarding the hotel room drama - which Chester has reportedly rejected as "a slanderous bold-faced lie" - a Sussex Police spokesperson said: "A guest has caused an estimated £1200 of damage to a hotel room.

"We have been given the name of the suspect, a 24-year-old man from the USA. We are working with other agencies to try to trace him so he can be interviewed."
