CHICAGO  -  Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson says "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett owes the city an apology.

Johnson ended a Thursday news conference about the charges against Smollett by saying justice would be for the 36-year-old actor to apologize, admit what he did and "then be man enough to offer what he should offer up in terms of all the resources that were put into this."

Smollett surrendered Thursday at central booking on a charge of felony disorder conduct.

Police say Smollett, who is black and gay, paid two brothers who are also black to help him stage a racist and homophobic attack against him on Jan. 29. 

Johnson says investigators think Smollett had hoped that the fake attack would be captured by one of the city's many security cameras, but that didn't happen. He says the camera at the location where the attack happened wasn't pointed in that direction.
