Kanye West has been charged with three criminal misdemeanors - vandalism, battery, and grand theft - in connection with a camera-smashing incident at LAX.

The L.A. City Attorney has also charged Don Crowley with similar crimes - two counts of vandalism, two counts of battery and two counts of grand theft.

West was also charged with a felony count of attempting to sing live when he really shouldn't. Just kidding. About the crime - he shouldn't sing, though.

This may be a relatively minor story, but it's definitely true. eleb gossip site TMZ caught it on tape - follow the link to check out Kanye's rage for yourself.

Do not attempt to film this man at the airport.

In the video, Kanye became incensed and broke a camera light as the site was shooting video. Crowley is charged with breaking both a video camera and the still camera, while Kanye is charged with breaking the flash accessory.

The incident occurred in September. Both men are scheduled to be arraigned on April 14. Kanye could get up to 2 1/2 years in jail if convicted on all counts.
