Kanye West faces misdemeanor charges


Posted March 18, 2009 by Tim Henley Comment on this article Leave a comment

Hip hop star Kanye West was charged March 18 with three misdemeanor counts of vandalism, battery and grand theft. 

The charges stem from an incident that was caught on tape in September at the Los Angeles International Airport. 

A photographer tried to take his picture at the airport, and Kanye then became upset and smashed his camera on the ground.

A TMZ photographer recorded the incident, when Kanye’s associate came up and broke the TMZ video camera.

The incident was caught on tape below.
