That January 2014 "eggscapade" landed Bieber two years probation, anger management classes, community service and a payment of $80,900 in restitution to his former neighbors.

Now, Jeff and Suzanne Schwartz are seeking an additional $25,000 from Bieber for assault and battery, trespassing and infliction of emotional distress.
