Looks like avoiding those ‘flashing lights’ has gotten Kanye West in some big trouble.

The superstar rapper/producer/designer has been hit with three misdemeanor charges by the L.A. City Attorney stemming from a scuffle he and his road manager, Don Crawley, had with two paparazzo at Los Angeles International Airport before boarding a flight to Hawaii on September 11, 2008.

He faces one count each of misdemeanor vandalism, grand theft and battery.

West’s manager has also been charged, but with two counts of each charge.

If convicted, West could spend up to two years and six months in jail.

Video of the incident surfaced online showing West and Crawley wrestling cameras away from the paps before breaking it to pieces.

Arraignment is scheduled for April 14.
