The L.A. County D.A. will not prosecute Kanye West, who was arrested for felony vandalism at L.A.'s LAX Airport earlier this month, TMZ.com reported on Friday.

A still photographer was trying to take photos of the rapper at the American Airlines terminal when he confronted the photographer and smashed his camera to the ground.

According to TMZ, the case has been sent to the L.A. City Attorney for possible misdemeanor prosecution.

When a TMZ photographer then began videotaping the scene, West's manager, Don Crowley, grabbed the camera and a struggle ensued, according to TMZ.

Crowley, who was also arrested, then threw the video camera to the ground, breaking it.

TMZ reported that when West realized the photographer had videotaped the incident, he yelled, "Gimme that f----g tape!"

Afterwards, West tried to board his flight, but was stopped by police before reaching security, TMZ.com reported.

West's rep had no comment.
