14 DAY TRIAL // Cops are still investigating the case of the Justin Bieber egg attack and, yesterday, they raided his house, in search of evidence that could connect him with the incident in which his neighbor's house was seriously defaced. TMZ claims that the police weren't looking for eggs in particular, but rather video of the incident. They didn't find any of that, but what they did find was drugs, initially believed to be cocaine.
Law enforcement officers determined that the drugs belonged to Lil Za, one of Bieber's friends currently living with him at the home in the exclusive gated community in Calabasas, California.
The 20-year-old Lil Za, real name Xavier Smith, was taken away by policemen in handcuffs and slapped with felony drug possession charges. He was clearly angry over the whole incident, and reportedly damaged the phone in lock-up.
This act earned him another felony on top of his drug-related charges, that of vandalism. Consequently, his bail went up from $20,000 (€14,628) to $50,000 (€36,570).
It was later revealed that the drugs found at Bieber's house were not cocaine but Xanax and Molly, a variation of Ecstasy, but the police are still doing tests. Lil Za faces a maximum of one year in jail for Ecstasy possession.
If it turns out that some of the drugs are cocaine, the time behind bars could be extended to a maximum three years.
Police say that, despite not finding any damning evidence in the Bieber residence, Justin is still not off the hook. The investigation into the egg-throwing incident where a neighbor has accused him of pelting his house with eggs in revenge, is still ongoing.
At the moment, all they have is a video shot by the neighbor at the moment of the attack. Though it was pitch black, a voice that sounds similar to Bieber's can be heard addressing insults to the victim. It's still being determined if this is enough evidence to prosecute.
