LOS ANGELES (AP) — California prosecutors say Sean Penn faces battery and vandalism charges stemming from an altercation with a photographer in Brentwood last fall. Spokesman Frank Mateljan with the Los Angeles city attorney's office says the two misdemeanor counts were expected to be filed later Friday. A phone message for Penn's attorney, Barry Hirsch, was not immediately returned. Mateljan says Penn kicked a photographer during a dustup in October. The photographer's camera also was damaged. If convicted, Penn could face up to 18 months in jail. Copyright (C) 2010 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
