TMZ reports that Kanye West and his bodyguard have been arrested for breaking a photographer’s camera today at LAX airport in Los Angeles. Both are charged with vandalism and held on $20,000 bail. (Update, 4:58 p.m. EST, Kanye’s out.)
TMZ describes its video:
You see Kanye (in a gray hooded sweatshirt) and his bodyguard/road manager (in the red) grabbing the camera away from the photog. It appears the bodyguard Don Crowley gets the camera and Kanye gets the lighting component. Crowley smashes the camera to the ground and Kanye does the same with the light.
Erik, our camera guy, then comes closer and the bodyguard then comes up and wrestles his camera away, ultimately breaking it.
