Justin Bieber's house searched by police over egg-throwing incident The man was later identified as Lil Za, a rapper whose real name is Xavier Smith. Jail records show Smith, 20, was being held in lieu of $20,000 bail. Thompson said the drugs linked to Smith were in plain sight when detectives searched Bieber's house. Los Angeles County Sheriff officers leave Justin Beiber's home (AP) Bieber, 19, was at the home and cooperated with authorities but was not interviewed by detectives. Lt Thompson said he expected the singer to speak with detectives when his attorney could be present. "He has not been arrested, nor has he been exonerated," Lt Thompson said of Bieber. Lt Thompson declined to describe what evidence detectives took from Bieber's home, but said the emphasis wasn't on what was in the pop star's refrigerator. He said the house Bieber allegedly egged had custom wood and other expensive features and that several thousands of dollars in damage occurred. Lt Thompson added that a judge authorised the search warrant. "I get that the eggs don't seem that significant, but it does rise to the level of a felony," Lt Thompson said. There is a victim in this case who has extensive damage done to their home. And that's a serious incident. The singer lives in a gated community in Calabasas, a celebrity enclave about 30 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles. Four helicopters hovered over the neighbourhood hours after the warrant was served. An email message sent to Bieber's publicist, Melissa Victor, was not immediately returned.
