He's often in the news for his outrageous behavior. Now British actor and comedian Russell Brand will face charges for an incident in New Orleans.

In March, Brand was accused of throwing a photographer's iPhone through a window.

The Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office will prosecute Brand on a charge of simple criminal damage to property under $500.

Brand faces up to six months in jail and a $500 fine. But based on similar cases, it's unlikely he will see any jail time if convicted.
