Kanye West (31) has been charged with misdemeanor vandalism, battery, and grand theft stemming from a scuffle with paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport on September 11, 2008.

West’s road manager, Don Crawley (33), has been charged with the same counts, but two of each.

If convicted of all charges, West could face up to two years and six months in jail, and Crawley could face up to five years in jail.

While waiting to catch a flight to Honolulu in September, West and Crawley wrestled a camera away from a photographer, and smashed it into the ground. Crawley then repeated that crime with a second photographer’s camera. Prosecutors said both photographers had minor injuries.

After the crime West blogged:

"I’m cool with the paparazzi. This guy wasn’t cool. I gotta work now … I’ll rant later!"

It’s not cool to break the law.

On November 14, 2008, West was arrested after another altercation with a photographer in Newcastle, England, and was released without being charged.

West will be criminally arraigned on April 14.

Kanye West’s giant ego finally got him into trouble. The sad part of this is the West may walk free, but Crawley will probably get jail time.
