Russell Brand will have to perform community service to resolve a misdemeanor charge after his confrontation with a paparazzo in New Orleans earlier this year.

Under a plea deal, the case will be dismissed if Brand performs 20 hours of community service and pays a $500 court fee by August 31. His attorney, Robert Glass, said he is hopeful that the actor will be able to fulfill the requirement through his charitable work with people suffering addictions.
Brand was arrested by New Orleans police on March 15 after a photographer accused him of grabbing his iPhone and tossing it through a window. Bail was set at $5,000 and the star was released shortly after his arrest.

British funnyman Russell Brand has vowed to fight his felony charge for smashing a paparazzo's cell phone in New Orleans last week.
The Get Him To The Greek star is accused of throwing a photographer's iPhone through a building's window after a heated argument.
Brand posted $5,000 (£3,125) bail and faces up to two years behind bars after New Orleans, Louisiana police listed the incident as a felony. It was first reported he would face a minor fine for criminal damage but it was elevated because the value of the window and iPhone exceed the maximum $500 (£312) fine.
However, the outspoken comedian has now hit back - hiring renowned New Orleans lawyer Robert Glass to defend the charge.
Glass tells E! News, "We're going to fight it."
Editors at TMZ.com report Glass will argue the damages are less than $500 and Brand has already paid $240 (£151) to fix the window.
