Kanye Charged with Three Misdemeanors in Paparazzi Fight

Whoops!! Kanye West was charged today with misdemeanor vandalism, battery and grand theft, and his road manager, Don Crawley, has been charged with the same counts, but two of each. This all stems back to a fight they had with paparazzi at LAX on September 11 of last year. Video of the incident showed both men wresting a camera away from a photographer, and both smashing parts of it into the ground. Crawley also allegedly smashed a second photographer’s camera. The incident resulted in minor injuries to one of the photographers, prosecutors say.

If convicted of all charges, Kanye could face up to two years and six months in jail and his road manager could face up to five years in jail, according to the statement.

Wow, I didn’t even realize you could go to jail for a misdemeanor! Whatever, though, he’ll probably get off with a slap on the wrist. Wouldn’t it just be ridiculous if Kanye ends up serving jail time for this shit but Chris Brown gets off? That’s totally what would happen, too.
