Twenty-one-year-old Charlie Gilmour, is also accused of stealing a mannequin leg during the chaotic London street protests. A Crown Prosecution Service spokesman says the theft charge will likely be dropped.
Gilmour, a Cambridge University student, shocked many in Britain when he was photographed swinging from the Union Jack attached to the Cenotaph, Britain's most important war memorial, during the Dec. 9 demonstration.
Most student protesters marched peacefully, but some clashed with police and others attacked a car carrying Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla.
