LAPD IS AFTER SAM LUFTI. OR NOT.

TMZ says now that the LAPD Robbery Homicide division is investigating Sam Lutfi for allegedly drugging Britney Spears for weeks and maybe even months before the courts intervened and placed her under psychiatric care. They say:

We're told the case has now been assigned to Robbery Homicide, primarily because of the sensitive nature of the allegations and the intense media interest in Britney Spears. Sources say investigators have interviewed several witnesses regarding the drugs in Brit's system at the time she was most recently committed.  One source says the investigation will probably be concluded in late March.

Meanwhile, Radar Online and X17 Online say the exact opposite, that there is no investigation at all, on any level by any division.  X17 says:

Is Sam Lutfi being investigated by the LAPD Major Crimes Division, Robbery Homicide Division, or any other division of the LAPD for allegedly drugging Britney Spears? NO!Tyler Gray at Radaronline, picked up the phone and called the LAPD to clarify TMZ's initial report only to find out the whole thing was wrong!And now we just picked up the phone to do the same and guess what — LAPD spokesperson Richard French told us the same thing — Sam Lutfi is NOT being investigated by any division of the the LAPD for anything.French added that any LAPD employee giving information to the media that could compromise an investigation would certainly be at risk of losing his/her job. That said, it sounds like TMZ sources didn't break any rules — unless punking a website is a crime!

I'm more inclined to believe that the LAPD isn't doing anything, because they never do anything.  Especially if you're a celebrity.  The more famous you are, the less the rules apply to you in LA.  Tom Hanks could hunt homeless people on a deserted island and the LAPD would just send him a soft cashmere sweater and a case of champagne.
