The law continues to be in Ian Ziering‘s favor, with zero charges against him following his viral New Year’s Eve brawl.
The “Beverly Hills, 90210” star made headlines days earlier for bravely defending himself against a biker gang. While both parties blame each other for the incident, cops are more interested in the damages than who started the fight.
Authorities May Book One Of The Bikers For Damaging Ian Ziering’s Car
The fight between Ziering and the biker gang is being investigated as a potential felony vandalism case. Authorities are currently focused on slapping the charge on at least one of the bikers for damaging the actor’s car.
A video from the incident captured one of the bikers using a helmet to smash Ziering’s windshield. However, new videos from the brawl also show the alleged victim initiating the fight by pushing one of the bikers.
This video showed the brawl could be considered mutual combat in the eyes of the law. If the event did happen that way, the case may proceed without battery charges, especially since none of the bikers have filed a police report against Ziering.
Another reason the biker gang needs to share their side of the story with authorities is because of their mini motorbikes. It is illegal to ride these vehicles on public streets or freeways. But there are no charges for their alleged unauthorized bikes.
Meanwhile, if the potential felony vandalism case gets submitted, the L.A. District Attorney can add battery charges if they believe there is evidence to back this claim. On the biker gang’s part, they remain adamant that they did not start the fight.
Two men riding with the 605 Minibike Gang told TMZ that Ziering started the viral New Year’s Eve brawl, not their crew. Videos shared by fans seemingly backed this claim as it showed the TV personality confronting the bikers.
Set to the tune of Kate Earl’s “All That Glitters,” the footage began right when Ziering floored one of the bikers with a punch in the face. The action led to another biker — who donned a blue hoodie and a black helmet — attempting to hit him with their bike.
As other bikers began surrounding the father of two to get their own shots in, Ziering ran across the street. As he sprinted, he continued engaging in a physical altercation with the bikers who remained on his tail.
