    Justin Bieber to be charged with vandalism

    Justin Bieber will be charged in Los Angeles in an egg-throwing incident in January that damaged a neighbor’s home.

    The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office charged Bieber on Wednesday with one count of misdemeanor vandalism.

    It’s not clear what the potential penalty is.

    Prosecutors spent months considering whether to file charges. The singer’s Calabasas mansion was searched on Jan. 14 and detectives later filed a search warrant to obtain images from Bieber’s Instagram account to match them up to surveillance footage taken from his home. A detective wrote that a person matching Bieber’s description was seen high-fiving his friends after running toward a neighbor’s home, but footage of the egg attack was not captured.

    A call Wednesday seeking comment from Bieber’s attorney, Howard Weitzman, was not immediately returned.

    Sheriff’s detectives estimated the damage to the home at up to $20,000. The threshold for filing a felony is if more than $400 in damage was caused.
