DA Won't File Felony Case Against Justin Bieber Over Cell Phone Dispute

Prosecutors still have not decided whether to file charges against the singer in connection to an egg-throwing incident in Calabasas.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office declined to file a felony case against pop star Justin Bieber in connection with an alleged run-in with a woman over whether she had taken any cell phone images of him at a Sherman Oaks miniature golf course.

In a charge evaluation worksheet released today, a prosecutor wrote that the May 13 incident at Sherman Oaks Castle Park "does not warrant felony prosecution."

The matter was referred to the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office for possible misdemeanor prosecution.

Nine miniature golf course employees were interviewed, and none who saw the encounter described any kind of physical altercation or tug-of-war involving the woman over the cell phone, according to the prosecutor.

County prosecutors have not yet decided whether to file a case against Bieber in connection with an accusation the now-20-year-old singer threw eggs at a neighbor's home in Calabasas in January. The matter is still under review, according to Jane Robison of the District Attorney's Office.
