American musician Kanye West has pleaded not guilty to a series of charges relating to a scuffle with a photographer at Los Angeles International Airport last year.
West, 31, was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor battery, grand theft and vandalism after allegedly breaking a photographer’s equipment at the airport on September 11, 2008.
His road manager, Dan Crawley, also faces assault, theft and vandalism charges arising out of the incident.
The case will be heard on 15 July in Los Angeles and is expected to include video footage of the incident shot by celebrity gossip website TMZ.
If found guilty, West could face a prison sentence of up to two and half years.
