Britney Spears’ Bodyguard’s Battery Charges

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always wondered how these “bodyguards” are allowed to carry weapons and push people around. And in the case of Julio Cesar Camera, it looks like he took his job a little too far while protecting his client Britney Spears.

Camera has been formally charged with battery due to his scuffle with a photographer outside of a Las Vegas hotel. The bodyguard physically handled the man, Andrew Deetz, as he tried to get close-up shots of Brit and her boys.

After a physical altercation, Camera and Spears allegedly shouted all kinds of pleasantries at the paparazzo. Brit was said to have threatened Deetz, shouting, “I am going to kill you!”

All in all, it’s really no biggie. The Toxic singer’s lawyers could easily bail this Camera guy out of the situation. If for some reason he gets convicted, Julio could face a six-month jail sentence or $1000 in fines. And by Nicole Richie standards, that’s only a few days in the slammer.
