Kanye West Granted Plea Delay In Airport Assault Case
  • Add to My Fav Bands List

    • 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.
