“Singer Justin Bieber will be charged today with one count of misdemeanor vandalism for allegedly throwing eggs at a neighbor’s Calabasas home,” it said, naming a pricey suburb of Los Angeles where a number of celebrities live.
Police had said soon after the attack they would be investigating felony charges against Bieber
The incident in January was just one in a long line of controversial headlines which have tarnished the once clean-cut image of Bieber, who has sold more than 12 million albums since emerging on the music scene in 2009 as a schoolboy sensation.
The 20-year-old star is also facing charges in Florida over an illegal street race in his Lamborghini in Miami Beach on January 23.
He has pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence of substances, resisting arrest and driving with an expired license.
And in Canada, he is accused of assaulting a limousine driver last year.
