Pop star Justin Bieber, who faces legal trouble in Florida and Toronto, will be charged with misdemeanor vandalism on Wednesday for allegedly pelting a neighbor's home with eggs, the Los Angeles County District Attorney said, according to The Associated Press.
Bieber, 20, will be arraigned in Los Angeles Superior Court in Van Nuys at 1:30 p.m. PDT but will not be present, the district attorney's office said, the AP reported.
The "Boyfriend" singer is accused of throwing eggs at a neighbor's home in an upscale Calabasas, California, community during a dispute in January, according to the AP.
Investigators searched Bieber's home following the incident and arrested a friend, aspiring rapper Lil Za, for drug possession at the house, the AP reported.
Prosecutors spent months considering whether to file charges after 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, according to the AP.
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, the AP reported.
The incident was the first in a string of arrests and legal problems for the former teen idol, who was later arrested and charged with driving under the influence in Miami Beach and also charged with assaulting a limo driver in Toronto, according to the AP.
The district attorney's office did not say what punishment Bieber could face if he is found guilty, and it is not known how the charge could influence the Miami Beach and Toronto cases, the AP reported.
The singer could have faced a felony charge if damage to the home was greater than $20,000, according to the Ap. Bieber has since moved from the gated community.
