Jeremy O. Harris , whose boundary-pushing “ Slave Play ” earned a record number of Tony nominations, has been detained in Japan for nearly three weeks following his arrest on drug smuggling charges at an Okinawa airport.
The multihyphenate writer-actor, whose work spans Broadway, HBO’s “Euphoria” and the critically lauded feature “Zola,” was stopped by customs officials Nov. 16 at Naha Airport after they allegedly found less than a gram of MDMA in his bag, according to Reuters . Harris, 36, has remained in custody since his arrest under Japan’s strict narcotics laws.
Local prosecutors received a criminal complaint Thursday from Okinawa customs officials, moving the case toward formal charges. Authorities have not disclosed whether Harris has addressed the allegations. Variety ha
