Kanye West Arrested At LAX

Yeezy oh Yeezy... what art thou doin? LAX police have confirmed to Access Hollywood, that Kanye West was arrested at LAX earlier today.

West was arrested at 7:51 AM this morning in Terminal Four on charges of battery and vandalism and is still in the custody of the airport police.

Airport police can’t confirm yet, but they speculate it was due to a situation with the paparazzi. According to the gossip Web site TMZ.com, a photographer was attempting to photograph the rap star at the American Airlines terminal, when West allegedly confronted the photographer, grabbing his camera smashing it to the ground.

A TMZ photographer who was also present then attempted to videotape West, when Kanye’s assistant allegedly grabbed the video camera. A struggle reportedly ensued between the assistant and the TMZ photographer, which caused the second camera to crash to the ground. West reportedly approached the TMZ photographer demanding the tape, yelling, “Gimme that f****** tape!”

Kanye and his assistant could be charged with felony vandalism.
