News Justine Bieber's house raided by police - Page 4

**BigRichard** · 01-14-2014, 08:12 PM

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.

You can't make this shit up.

The issue is he's been a ****ing nuisance to his neighbors, so they already hate his ass. Then he eggs the dudes house, and screaming **** you to the guy with his daughter present. The eggs, many of them, cause over 20k in damages which is a felony. The neighbor hates him, the cops hate him and are dying to nail this punk, and now he's caused felony damage. So while it seems silly, there's a lot more going on here. They want that asshole out of the neighborhood, possibly out of the country, and now he's given them something to get it done. Overboard? If this was a normal case of kids egging a house, then yes. But the Beibs has been pissing off his neighbors and the local police for sometime now. They are salivating at the possibility of nailing him with a felony, which he handed them on a silver platter.

I'm surprised he didn't get an animal cruelty charge added when the cops showed up. I guess the cops didn't find the gerbils during the search.

Justine? fitting.

Was it a cavity search?

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

You are absolutely right. But the headline about his house being raided over the eggs just grabs your attention. But after reading the story and seeing the damage amount I thought he was in some deep shit. I still thought it would be a fun story to post.

Funny how headlines screw with your line of thinking. Same as the guy shot over "texting". No, he was shot because he got into an altercation with an old dude with a gun.

I still would like to know what kinda crimes can get your access to the US revoked???

Looks like he could get deported for his actions based on this, if they are calling his actions aggravated felony.

In February, a top Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official admitted that the department has turned its attention to undocumented immigrants who commit crimes in the U.S. These people are first in line to be deported.

But the reality is that you don't need to be undocumented to be deported for a crime. The U.S. can revoke your green card or work visa if you are convicted of a specific type of crime even though you are legally in the country.

Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, certain convictions make aliens ineligible for admission into the United States. This includes convictions for drug offenses, sex offenses, fraud, theft, aggravated felonies, weapons possession, crimes of moral turpitude and domestic violence. Many crimes punishable by more than one year of confinement are also part of this list.

Just because you're already in the U.S., it doesn't mean that this law does not apply to you. It does. If you are in the U.S. legally, you can still lose your status. Immigration officials may choose to revoke your green card or work visa if they are notified of your conviction. This also means you can be deported for the crime.

Moreover, a conviction will hamper an immigrant's ability to stay in this country permanently. People who apply for citizenship or permanent resident status may be denied if they have a criminal record.

The reality is that U.S. citizens are the only individuals who can safely commit a crime and remain in this country. All immigrants, legal or not, can be deported for a crime if it's serious enough.

Thanks for that. Interesting to see if they will push this or not.

I bet the homeowner was like, "This door was imported from an abbey in Scotland. It's 400 years old and the eggs permanently stained the wood, requiring expensive renovations."
