Akon Pleads Guilty To Throwing Fan Offstage
Why do I feel like Akon got off easy?
Akon pleaded guilty Wednesday to harassment for tossing a fan off stage at an upstate New York concert last year.
He will serve no jail time as long he performs 65 hours of community service and pays a $250 fine, according to the plea bargain in Fishkill Town Court.
The 35-year-old singer threw a teenage boy off the stage during a June 2007 concert at a minor league baseball stadium near Poughkeepsie. Another concertgoer said she suffered a concussion when the teen landed on her.
Witnesses said a spectator threw something at Akon during the show at Dutchess Stadium. After he asked the crowd to point out the culprit, a security guard picked up a 15-year-old boy and sent him up to the stage. Akon hoisted the teen onto his shoulders and flung him into the crowd.

Yet another example of the judicial system embracing celebrities. Sad. On the brightside, he can start a pre-production on a FOX reality show, "When Akon Attacks." Haha.
