Bieber to be charged over eggs row

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

The pop star will be charged with one count of misdemeanor vandalism over the January incident, the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office says.

Spokeswoman Jane Robison said the singer will not be present for the arraignment at Superior Court in Van Nuys.

Sheriff’s investigators searched Bieber’s Calabasas home on January 14 searching for evidence in the case and arrested one of the singer’s friends on felony drug possession charges.

Surveillance footage seized from Bieber’s home appears to show the pop star high-fiving friends and celebrating after throwing eggs at his neighbour’s home earlier that month.

The Grammy-nominated singer faces two other cases in Florida and Toronto.
