LOS ANGELES (February 19, 2010)—The Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office says actor Sean Penn faces battery and vandalism charges stemming from an altercation with a photographer in Brentwood last fall.

Spokesman Frank Mateljan said the two misdemeanor counts would probably be filed later Friday.

A phone message left for Penn's attorney, Barry Hirsch, was not immediately returned.

Mateljan said Penn kicked a photographer during a dustup in October in which the photographer's camera was damaged.

If convicted, Penn could face as much as 18 months in jail.

Sean Penn is not an American Hero, just a loud mouthed PUNK! He ran his mouth just before the invasion of Iraq and openly supported the dictator there but didn't have the guts to go over and be a "human shield" for him.Go help your "Hero" out Ted!
