Anthony Michael Hall is facing up to seven years in jail after he was charged with felony battery with serious bodily injury for allegedly attacking his neighbor.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney charged the Breakfast Club actor, 48, with the crime two months after he allegedly broke his neighbor’s wrist and injured his back during an altercation outside their residence in Playa del Rey, California.
In grainy September 13 security footage obtained by TMZ, a man identified by the site as Hall is pictured arguing with another man before shoving him to the ground and walking away. The site reported at the time that the incident started after the neighbor left a gate open, prompting Hall to yell at him to close it. He then shut the gate himself before allegedly arguing with the neighbor and pushing him down. With enough force to make his legs fly up.
Doesn’t seem like a felony charge, right? But apparently this is like the third “disturbance” at his condo alone. So maybe that coupled with whatever injuries…. idk, we shall see.
These days, everything is a felony. People should remember that in their “land of the free”. It’s all fun and great until the cops or government decide to charge you with felonies, which they can do for farting in the wrong direction. It’s absolutely ridiculous to charge someone, in a situation like this, with felonious battery. Unless you have prior convictions. Totally unnecessary and is just another way for some clownshoe new prosecutor to garner fame.
