Nakoula Basseley Nakoula was escorted voluntarily from his Cerritos home early yesterday, according to Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca. He was questioned by federal probation officials for less than 45 minutes and then left. Nakoula said he was not returning to his home, Whitmore said.
