Akon will need more than a Sorry, blame it on me to explain the much-publicized fan-tossing incident back in June.
Why ? Remember…
The YouTube clip of Akon tossing a 15-year-old fan into the crowd of a concert has come back to haunt him: Police are slapping the hip-hop star with criminal charges after a fan said she suffered a concussion in the incident.
Yesterday, charges of endangering the welfare of a minor, a misdemeanor, and second-degree harassment, a violation, were filed, according to police Chief Donald F. Williams, and Akon is scheduled to appear at 9 a.m. on December 3, 2007 in town of Fishkill Court for arraignment on the two charges.
Akon is due in a Fishkill, N.Y., courtroom Monday to be arraigned on misdemeanor charges of endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree harassment, the Associated Press reports.
There was no immediate comment from Akon’s camp.
