Charges were dropped on Friday (Jan. 29th) after Kanye’s attorney Blair Burk and Crowly’s attorney Shawn Chapman Holley appeared in court with proof that the two completed 50 hours of community service and the anger management course the judge recommended. Reportedly West and Crowly completed the 50 hours at the Red Cross.
