Kanye West might beat the felony rap from his encounter with the paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport last week. Thanks to a quirk of California law, West might get off because when he and his road manager, Don Crowley, wrestled with two paparazzi and smashed the men’s cameras on Thursday, West only managed to get a fistful of one shooter’s lighting rig, which was only worth $100, TMZ reports.
Meanwhile, Crowley had his hands on the camera, which is worth more than $1,400, as well as a video camera belonging to TMZ reportedly valued at $7,000. California law states that someone who criminally damages property worth more than $400 can be prosecuted for felony vandalism. TMZ speculated that the charges for West could be lowered to a misdemeanor, while Crowley might still face felony counts.
In related news, two Los Angeles city councilmen filed a motion asking officials at LAX to look into how they deal with celebrities and the paparazzi. The Los Angeles Times reports that the motion, filed on Friday, asks LAX to think about how to “preserve public safety” at times when “high-profile passengers” are forced to deal with the increasing number of photographers who stake out the airport in the hopes of catching stars in transit.
The night before the West incident, airport security was called when a swarm of paparazzi descended on new mom Jamie Lynn Spears. The group of photographers was so big that six airport police officers were brought in to deal with the situation. An investigation was also launched on Thursday over whether the officers acted improperly when they helped Spears avoid the photographers by leaving through a restricted area.
On Friday, after posting $20,000 bail and being released from jail, West blogged about the incident, saying, “We back in the lab!!! I’m cool with the paparazzi. This guy wasn’t cool. I gotta work now.” West was reportedly in Hawaii the next day working on his upcoming album, 808’s and Heartbreak, which is set to be released on December 16.

Just a day after being released from jail following his run-in with the paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport, Kanye West is already speaking out on his blog.
“We back in the lab!!!” he wrote. “I’m cool with the paparazzi. This guy wasn’t cool. I gotta work now… I’ll rant later!”
TMZ reported that the rapper is now in Hawaii, where his blog post implies he is back to work on his upcoming album, 808’s and Heartbreak, which is set to be released December 18.
The rapper also seems to be back to work on his blog. By the time the update was put on his blog early Friday (September 12), he had already put up 12 posts about various subjects, including the hotness of “Clueless” star Stacey Dash and the coolness of the new Interview magazine cover, featuring supermodel Kate Moss.
On Thursday afternoon, West and his road manager, Don Crowley, were released from the Los Angeles Police Department’s Pacific Division on $20,000 bail following their arrests that morning. Both men were charged with felony vandalism, stemming from an incident at LAX that involved members of the paparazzi, according to a spokesperson for the airport’s public-relations office.
According to police, West and Crowley were waiting for a flight to Honolulu when they were met by a photographer and videographer, who started taking their photos. An altercation ensued, and the cameras of both paparazzi were damaged by West and Crowley.
