Avril could be jailed for spitting

SHAMED songstress Avril Lavigne could face six months in jail for hurling spit at photographers outside a Hollywood club. Avril and her rock hubby Deryck Whibley spent two nights on the lash earlier this week and each time the Complicated singer shot saliva at waiting snappers as they left celeb hangout Hyde.
But now she could be fined and slung in jail for her uncouth actions.
According to PerezHilton.com the two photographers she covered in saliva are considering pressing charges, especially as it was all caught on video.
And Avril could be charged with battery.
According to American law, battery is any wilful and unlawful act of force or touching against another person.
Wrongful touching doesn't need to inflict physical injuries and can be indirect such as throwing an object or spitting on someone.
Punishment is by a fine of up to £1000, up to six months in the county jail or both.
Avril’s gobby tirade began on Tuesday night when the singer spat at a snapper.
The following night Avril was at it again, this time shouting ‘bitch’ after dousing photographers in her spit.
