Justin Bieber Zone, Instagram & News 2014: 'Boyfriend' Star Facing Felony Charge?
Sheriff investigators in Calabasas, Los Angeles this week pressed for prosecutors to bring felony vandalism charges against Justin Bieber for an incident in which the singer allegedly egged a neighbor's house to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars in damage.
According to a spokesperson for the District Attorney for Los Angeles County, a decision on the case will not be made this week. Detectives have showed the evidence to prosecutors and they will ll have to decide whether the "Baby" singer can legally be charged with vandalism and whether the charge should be classified as a misdemeanor or a felony.
If it ultimately results in a misdemeanor charge, things would be slightly less bad for Bieber because he already has appeared in court several times throughout the past month and has other pending charges. Bieber is already facing misdemeanor-level charges in Toronto, Canada and Miami Beach, Florida. He has reportedly been indicted for acts of violence and drug possession.
A felony would require Bieber to be present in court in Los Angeles and carry much more serious consequences. Last month a dozen Los Angeles County police officers stormed into the singer's $6.5 million home in the private and exclusive Oaks community located inside of Calabasas. During the raid, deputies took security video footage as evidence of drug paraphernalia, which was seized.
Thursday's meeting at the courthouse was the second with the prosecution and it was confirmed that a recommendation for felony charge was put forward. The only positive news for Justin Bieber in these last weeks has been that his former bodyguard has dropped a lawsuit alleging assault and battery after a 2012 concert. Lawyers for neither side commented more than by saying that both parties in the suit had come to "mutual satisfaction."
