Canadian police released a statement on Friday that actress Denise Richards won't face criminal charges regarding an incident with paparazzi Wednesday on the set of her new movie Blonde and Blonder.


Denise Richards had hurled the laptop computers of two photographers off the balcony of the hotel at the River Rock Casino and Hotel in Richmond, British Columbia, a suburb of Vancouver, and a computer struck an 80-year-old woman in a wheelchair.


Cpl. Peter Thiessen, a media-relations officer for the Richmond Royal Canadian Mounted Police, said in a statement:

The photographers, Denise Richards and her management company have agreed to settle the matter civilly regarding the damages to the photographers' laptops,

It is not in the public interest to forward criminal charges regarding this matter.

The movie production company for Blonde and Blonder, which also stars Pamela Anderson, issued a statement about the incident on Thursday:

Yesterday evening, while filming a scene, a number of unauthorized persons entered the film set and began harrassing members of the cast. While trying to stop the paparazzi, Denise Richards was involved in an altercation. To protect her safety she instinctively knocked the paparazzo's laptops off a ledge.
