When this story first broke, I totally thought it was a joke. I mean sure, I heard the Biebs was under investigation after allegedly throwing raw eggs at his next-door neighbor’s house last Thursday. But never would I think that a full on search warrant would be issued. Are you kidding?
I can’t believe police have nothing better to do than to investigate an egg throwing complaint to such lengths.
So, a judge gave deputies a felony search warrant, which they carried out Tuesday morning.
Bieber and several house guests were asleep in the home when deputies arrived at 8 a.m., according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Lt. David Thompson. He was cooperative with the dozen deputies, but he did not answer questions about the alleged vandalism, Thompson said. (12 deputies … really???)
Investigators with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department were looking for video from Bieber’s security cameras that might show what happened Thursday night when eggs were thrown at a neighbor’s home, according to a sheriff’s statement.
The irate neighbor, Jeffrey Schwartz, claims he saw the Biebs from his second-floor balcony. He claims at least 20 eggs hit his home, causing about $20,000 in damage to his plaster and wood exterior.
They didn’t report any egg related findings, but Bieb’s friend, Xavier (Lil Za) Smith, 20, was charged with felony drug possession. They initially reported that the drug was cocaine but nope. It’s now being reported as Ecstasy. Hmmm … I’m no crack head, but I didn’t think Ecstasy and cocaine were easily confused. (This slander is unbelievable)
As Lil Za waited for someone to shell out his $20,000 bail, he picked up an additional felony vandalism charge after damaging a phone in lock-up. His bail was then jacked up another $50,000.
Thompson maintains that the Biebs is not associated with the drug finding.
Lil Za could face up to a year in prison if convicted of cocaine possession.
“The investigation is ongoing,” Thompson said of Justin. “He was not arrested nor exonerated at this time.”
Bieber’s had previous beefs with the neighbor in question, including one incident in which the neighbor accused Bieber of spitting in his face.
“We hope maybe understanding the gravity of this will change some of the behavior,” he said, mentioning “previous run-ins” involving Bieber’s house.
Does anyone else find this investigation over the top? I can’t believe a 19 year-old egg prank is garnering this much attention. I’m sorry. To me this is really a case of police harassing celebrities. Eggs aren’t that deep. They need to go solve some real crime – like murders, gang-related issues.
