Calif. prosecutor: Penn to be charged with battery
Feb. 19, 2010, 2:12 PM EST
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- California prosecutors say Sean Penn faces battery and vandalism charges stemming from an altercation with a photographer in Brentwood last fall.
Spokesman Frank Mateljan with the Los Angeles city attorney's office says the two misdemeanor counts were expected to be filed later Friday.
A phone message for Penn's attorney, Barry Hirsch, was not immediately returned.
Mateljan says Penn kicked a photographer during a dustup in October. The photographer's camera also was damaged.
If convicted, Penn could face up to 18 months in jail.
I wonder if Sean Penn is cool to hang out with. I bet he was difficult to be married to. But in the beginning he may be very intelligent, exciting and fun to hang out with. Then the very thing that made him exciting and fun to hang out with--is the thing that made him impossible to live with. Is this correct Robin Wright-Penn? Now back to just Robin Wright probably.
