Kanye West got away with it this time. According to TMZ, Kanye’s case involving a run-in with photograhers at LAX was dismissed today. Kanye and his manager Don Crowley had been charged with vandalism, battery and grand theft after smashing camera equipment of two photographers at LAX on September 11, 2008.
In October the judge agreed to dismiss the case if both Kanye and Crowley performed 50 hours of community service. They agreed, as well as to taking anger management classes. Kanye’s lawyer, Blair Berk, and Crowley’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, went to court to prove the men had kept their word and worked 50 hours at the Red Cross. Lucky for them, the case is now history.

Days after being arrested for domestic battery, Rodman has checked into an outpatient rehab facility, People magazine has learned.
