Despite earlier reports, Kanye West is not completely in the clear following his recent scuffle with a paparazzo at Los Angeles International Airport.
Frank Mateljan [pr: mah-TELL-jan], public information officer at the L.A. City Attorney’s office, tells ABC News Radio that TMZ’s report that Kanye won’t face any criminal charges over the incident is “speculative,” adding that the investigation is currently in its early stages.
As previously reported, on Friday Kanye allegedly fought with a photographer attempting to wrestle away his camera. TMZ reported that the case was referred for prosecution as a felony attempted robbery and not a battery, since the felony attempted robbery is the more serious charge. But Mateljan tells ABC News Radio that the City Attorney's office hasn't received anything from the Sheriff's office.
The photog, who goes by the name Dano, was taken to a local hospital for medical attention after the incident. He is the same paparazzo who was attacked by a then-bald Britney Spears in the infamous umbrella incident back in 2007.
