Justin Bieber Scheduled to Appear in Court for Calabasas Vandalism

Justin Bieber was expected to plead no contest today to misdemeanor vandalism for throwing eggs at a neighbor’s Calabasas home in January.

Arraignment for the 20-year-old pop star is scheduled for this afternoon in Van Nuys, but he is not expected to attend.

Bieber was essentially run out of Calabasas and is now said to be based out of a Beverly Hills-area condominium when he’s in the Los Angeles area.

According to TMZ, Bieber will enter a no contest plea and will avoid jail time, but be sentenced to one year on probation and be ordered to pay restitution.

Prosecutors considered felony charges because the damage — nine eggs were supposedly thrown — was said to be more than $400 — the legal standard for a felony.

Cleaning up, replastering and repainting was estimated to have cost about $20,000.

The Jan. 9 egging — part of which was recorded on video — in the 25000 block of Prado Del Grandioso triggered a Jan. 14 raid on the home, in which Bieber’s pal Lil Za, real name Xavier Smith, was arrested on suspicion of drug possession.

In April, Smith pleaded no contest to possession of Ecstasy and a misdemeanor count of damaging a jail or prison for smashing a phone at the sheriff’s station in Malibu. He was ordered to attend a drug program, perform 20 days of community labor and spend three years on probation. He also was ordered to pay $600 in restitution and a $1,000 fine.

The felony drug count can be reduced to a misdemeanor if he completes the drug program.
