The potential vandalism charge is what lawyers called a `` wobbler , '' meaning the district attorney must decide if it will be prosecuted as a felony -- which has much more serious consequences -- or as a misdemeanor . Several sources close to the investigation tell CNN there is little doubt Bieber will be charged with vandalism for the January incident and a decision should be announced soon . Bieber attorneys Howard Weitzman and Shawn Holley met with prosecutors Tuesday to argue that since the egging was `` a silly prank '' and Bieber has no criminal record , it should be treated as a misdemeanor , two sources said .
