Justin Bieber cleared in robbery, but egging charge nears

Justin Bieber is completely off the hook for an incident in which a Los Angeles woman accused him of trying to take her cell phone last month, CNN reported.

But a Los Angeles prosecutor is expected to soon charge Bieber, 20, with vandalism in a separate incident, the egging of his neighbor's mansion, a source involved in the case told CNN on Monday.

The Los Angeles city attorney decided Monday there was "a lack of evidence" to prosecute the singer for attempted robbery in connection with an argument with a woman at a miniature golf park last month, according to spokesman Rob Wilcox.

The case was handed to the city attorney's office last week for consideration of a misdemeanor charge after the Los Angeles district attorney declined to file a felony charge.

A criminal charge in the egging probe is coming as soon as Monday afternoon, a source told CNN. The Los Angeles County district attorney has been considering the case since February, when sheriff's investigators recommended that Bieber be charged with felony vandalism for the January incident.

The vandalism case is what lawyers call a "wobbler," meaning the district attorney must decide if it will be prosecuted as a felony -- which could have much more serious consequences for the singer -- or as a misdemeanor. There was no indication which charge would be filed against Bieber, the source said.
