Kanye West Granted Plea Delay In Airport Assault Case
US rapper Kanye West has been granted a delay to enter his plea on charges relating to an altercation with a photographer in September.
West and his road manager, Dan Crawley, are alleged to have smashed a photographer’s camera as they waited to board a plane to Hawaii from Los Angeles International Airport.
West was charged last month on counts of misdemeanour battery, grand theft and vandalism over the incident.
During a brief court hearing in Los Angeles yesterday, West’s lawyer was granted a delay to enter his plea until May 20.
Blair Berk said she had only just been able to review a police report into the incident.
West faces two and a half years in prison if convicted.
Meanwhile, Crawley has been charged with six misdemeanors, including two counts apiece of battery and grand theft.
The charges carry a possible five year prison sentence.
