Akon

Akon pleaded not guilty for fan-tossing criminal charges he got for the KFEST in Fishkill, last June.

Billboard reports, Akon was "released on his own recognizance following his brief court appearance in the Dutchess County town." He was charged with misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a minor andsecond-degree harassment, a violation and the case was adjourned until January.

A town justice told Akon that he does not have to appear in court the next time, only his lawyer has. Akon did not comment as he left the courthouse. "Itwas never Akon's intention to violate the law," his Manhattan lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, said in a written statement released to the media. "This unfortunateincident was a spontaneous reaction during a live concert that Akon deeply regrets."
