YAY…

The incident took place at 7:51 AM this morning at the entrance to the security checkpoint for American Airlines at Terminal 4 on charges of battery and vandalism. The two were en route to Honolulu at the time.

According to an eyewitness on the scene who spoke with Access, the incident began when Kanye approached a camera that was being aimed at him by a photographer.

According to the gossip Web site TMZ.com, the paparazzo was attempting to photograph the rap star, when Kanye allegedly confronted the photographer, grabbing his camera (reportedly valued at over $10,000) and smashing it to the ground.

Airport security intervened and took Kanye and the photographer aside, and spoke to both of them, later releasing them both.

Kanye then approached the photographer getting “in his face,” Access’ witness said.
A group of flight attendants also saw Kanye confront the photographer, according to the witness.

A TMZ videographer named Erik, who was also present, was attempting to videotape Kanye and the photographer, when Don (the bodyguard) allegedly grabbed TMZ’s video camera. A struggle reportedly ensued between Don and Erik, which caused Erik’s camera to smash to the ground (yes, this was the 2nd camera smashed to the ground)!

According to TMZ, Kanye then tried to board his plane, but overheard police talking with Erik about whether or not he had filmed the incident.

Kanye reportedly then approached Erik demanding the tape, yelling, “Gimme that f****** videotape!”

As the incident escalated, approximately eight LAX police officers apprehended Kanye, putting him in handcuffs, and took him and Don into custody, according to Access’ witness.

According to Access’ witness, LAX police did not detain either photographer. The witness also noted that due to the anniversary of 9-11, police presence at the airport appeared to be higher than normal.

Kanye and Don were taken to the LAPD Pacific Division where they were booked and charged with felony vandalism.

According to LAX Police, “Airport Police had initially received the call as also involving a potential battery. However, following initial investigation, it was determined that no battery occurred.”

LAX Police told an Access producer on site that Kanye and his entourage will be returning to get on another American Airlines flight, after they’re booked.

I noticed a while back Actually, on July 18th of 2008. That there were school buses and other big trucks under the bridge. It seems that this is now a parking garage, the biggest hint was the sign that said so. I am kind of upset about it.
