Frank Lucas Jr., familiarized by Denzel Washington’s portrayal of his drug lord father in the movie “American Gangster,” is preparing to sue the city of New York for $25 million.

Lucas, 38, alleges that the NYPD used excessive force and harassed him during an arrest on Staten Island on March 28. “I have no desire to be American Gangster Jr.,” Lucas said, after being charged with petty marijuana possession in the fifth-degree.

Salvatore Strazzullo, Lucas’ attorney, said that racial profiling was used in the arrest since Lucas was in a car driven by his white manager, Gene Ragusa. Officers say they found a bag with marijuana residue in the vehicle.

According to Lucas, once the plainclothes officers saw his name, they insulted him and said, ” You’re Lucas’ son and a rapper? You got two strikes against you.”

After two nights in jail, the Ragusa and Lucas plead guilty at their arraignment. The charges will be dropped if the pair can stay out of trouble for one year.

“As far as I’m concerned, I’m definitely not proud of a lot of things [my father] did to rise out of his circumstances,” Lucas said. “I felt like…[my father's name] as the ‘King of Smack’ had played a part in bringing this on me.”
