Kanye West Charged With Three Crimes
Last September 11, Kanye West got busted by the police at LAX Airport after he allegedly grabbed and smashed a camera belonging to a paparazzo who was trying to film him at the time. The incident did not turn into a full blown scenario and Kanye and his bodyguard, Don Crowley, were released from custody. Today we learn that Kanye West will now be charged with three misdemeanor crimes stemming from that incident — vandalism, battery, and grand theft:
Kanye West has just been charged with three criminal misdemeanors — vandalism, battery, and grand theft — in connection with the camera-smashing incident at LAX. The L.A. City Attorney has charged Don Crowley with the crimes — two counts of vandalism, two counts of battery and two counts of grand theft. TMZ happened to catch the incident on tape. In fact, Kanye broke our camera light as we were shooting. Crowley is charged with breaking both the TMZ camera and the still camera. Kanye is charged with breaking the flash accessory to the still camera. The incident occurred last September 11. Both men are scheduled to be arraigned on April 14. Kanye could get up to 2 1/2 years in jail if convicted on all counts. Crowley could get five years.
LOL! It’s laughable to even bring up the mention of jail time … there is no way in hell that Kanye West is going to see the inside of a jail cell because of this incident. While I would love nothing better than to see a pompous celeb like Kanye really get busted by the court, I sincerely doubt this is the sort of scenario where that is even a remote possibility. Tho, I bet Kanye forgot all about this little incident at LAX from so many month ago … what a great way to be reminded that one’s actions tend to have consequences.

I’m sure he’ll post some blog whining about the charges. I, too, would love nothing more to see him get busted…maybe it would humble him a little!

Who do these celebrities think they are that they can lash out and damage property. Yeah i bet the paps are annoying but you dont see Victoria and David Beckham throwing stuff at them and making a show of themselves, and they are constantly haunted by photographers.

Trent, you know I love you, don’t you? Well, I do. I think your headline is “Charged” not chared. I make mistakes on the net all the time…I think there is a secret program that randomly changes words to embarrass us.

I loved the bit that Russell Brand did making fun of him for hating mtv and saying he would never appear there again and then showing up the next year. LOL
Kanye truly is an arrogant celeb.
