Celebrity Justice
Kanye West Busted

Posted Sep 11th 2008 11:35AM by TMZ Staff

Kanye West has just been arrested at LAX for felony vandalism.

A still photographer was trying to take pics of Kanye at the American Airlines terminal. According to our guy on the scene, Kanye allegedly confronted the photog and smashed his camera to the ground.

Our photog then began videotaping the scene when Kanye's bodyguard grabbed our camera -- a struggle ensued and the bodyguard threw the video camera to the ground, breaking it.

When Kanye realized our camera guy had videotaped the incident, he rushed our guy and yelled, "Gimme that f**king tape!"

Both Kanye and his bodyguard have been arrested and will be booked.

62. So let me get this straight -- you guys harass a person to their breaking point, photograph and videotape it, and then present it as "news." Then you control the story and spin it any way you want to. "Oh, our poor guy was just mercillessly harassing an innocent man trying to mind his own business and the guy lost his temper. Poor us!!" You make me SICK! I hope it was expensive equipment that he broke!

63. Great! I am glad to see that some action is being taking against Stars in general for unacceptable behavior. They are humans like any of us and they should abide by the same laws and regulations we do on a daily basis! Good job LAPD and TMZ!

67. I"m so glad he is in jail. Kanye is nothing but a racist, cry baby, arrogant prick that thinks the world owes him something. He doesn't deserve the life he has!

Boo hoo Kanye! Are you going to go cry to MTV again?
