Akon Pleads Guilty in Fan-Tossing Case

Hip-Hop star Hip-hop star Akon pleaded guilty yesterday to harassment for tossing a fan off stage at a concert last year in upstate New York.

The artist is not expected to serve time so long as he performs 65 hours of community service and pays a $250 fine, according to the plea bargain in Fishkill Town Court.

The AP reports that 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.

A video of the incident was captured and can be viewed below.
