Justine Bieber's house raided by police

Los Angeles (CNN) -- Justin Bieber got some unexpected visitors Tuesday morning: sheriff's deputies with a warrant to search his home.

Investigators with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department were looking for video from Bieber's security cameras that might show what happened Thursday night when eggs were thrown at a neighbor's home, according to a sheriff's statement.

A judge gave deputies a felony search warrant, which they carried out Tuesday morning, the sheriff's statement said.

Bieber and several house guests were asleep in the home when deputies arrived at 8 a.m., according to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Lt. David Thompson. He was cooperative with the dozen deputies, but he did not answer questions about the alleged vandalism, Thompson said.

Bieber hasn't spoken to investigators about last week's incident, and his representative had declined comment to CNN.

One of Bieber's house guests, rapper Lil Za, was arrested when deputies allegedly found illegal drugs during their search, Thompson said. Although the drugs were initially reported to be cocaine, Thompson later said they are believed to be Ecstasy and Xanax, but lab tests will be needed to confirm it.

The suspect was identified as Xavier Smith, 20, who performs under the name Lil Za, Thompson said. He was set to be released later Tuesday after posting a $20,000 bond, Thompson said.

"The purpose of the search warrant is to seek video surveillance or other possible evidence in the vandalism that occurred on January 9, 2014," the sheriff's statement said.

Deputies seized video from computer hard drives on the "extensive" security monitoring system on Bieber's estate, Thompson said.

Cameras capture just about any movement on the property, he said. Detectives will spend the next days scouring through the video for clues about who hurled eggs toward the neighboring mansion last week, Thompson said.

If investigators find enough evidence that Bieber, 19, threw the eggs that splattered against his next-door neighbor's home, they could refer the matter to the district attorney's office for possible prosecution, he said.

The vandalism damage to the house of Bieber's neighbor was about $20,000, Thompson said. The cost of repairing the damage to the house is a key factor in determining the severity of the charge. Any damage of more than $950 would qualify the charge as a felony.

Bieber lives in the Oaks, an exclusive gated community, in Calabasas. He moved into a $6.5 million mansion there two years ago. An impressive list of the rich and famous -- including Michael Jackson's mother and children -- live in the neighborhood, about 30 miles west of downtown Los Angeles.

His neighbors have complained about Bieber several times in the past year, including in May when two neighbors called the sheriff to report he was speeding down residential streets, a sheriff's spokesman said.

Deputies visited Bieber's home in response, but the singer refused to talk to them, Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said.

Retired NFL star Keyshawn Johnson went to Bieber's home then to counsel him about the dangers of going too fast on the residential streets, but Bieber wouldn't speak to him, Johnson's rep told CNN in May.

A neighbor accused Bieber of spitting on him and making threats during a heated confrontation outside his home last March, Whitmore said. It prompted a sheriff's probe, but no charges followed.

We had a car get egged and didn't notice it for a couple days. It absolutely trashed the paint. It was just one egg. IIRC it cost about $800 to repaint

CP fell off... Justin Beiber threads?

It's an egging...revenge is in order. A nice return egging, TPing, or something mildly destructive (which causes approximately 20K in damage) would work.

Haven't heard ALL about this, but it's brinking on a great deal more than an egging. He was egging the house to the owner's face, with the owner's daughter videotaping it, and Bieber yelling barbs at him as he did it.

Bieber's gotta step his game up, if he wants to be taken seriously.

This is what happens when an unsupervised child has millions, and his own house.

Well that's kind of an uncalled for shot at BigRichard. It is the offseason. Every thread can't be a winner.

[Rasputin]

That's tax money at work for a court order for cops that must not have anything better to do than I don't know maybe catch killers and thieves and drug dealers...?





Maybe this thread can now go to D.C. land of the injustice league?

Easy there. Without Canada, there's no Shannon Tweed.

I think reasonable people on both sides of the aisle can agree that Bieber's a little bitch trying to play the tough.

[ThaVirus]

Dude's been banging Brazilian prostitutes, hanging out with rappers, getting tattoos, adding about 4 pounds of muscle, and.... Egging houses?

His street cred is soaring.

A dozen officers to respond to egg throwing. Really?

How many large pane windows got broken by the eggs? I have no idea but if it's more than 4, easily done IMO

It's not the avenue of destruction it's the value. Would you feel more comfortable if the headline said 20k in damages for gun shots? Through the same windows of a million dollar house it could equate....

There are no drug dealers/killers/thieves (conventional types anyway, most of Hollywood is stealing our consumer dollars) in hat neighborhood. Hence the reason they pay millions to live there.

Got to account for many things; crazed protective fans, paid security, paparazzi, etc. better safe than sorry. Besides, this is the big crime in that neighborhood
