Justin Bieber is wanted for questioning for a recent scuffle that ensued between the hip hop star and a paparazzo.
Justin Bieber has been on America’s headlines in the last few days, but the singer is not all smiles as he stands accused of assaulting a photographer.
It all went down this past weekend when Justin and a photographer got into an altercation, the photographer then called an ambulance and the police after a lawyer approached him and told him he could get him a ton of money for the incident.
Justin fled from the scene along with Selena, the whole incident started due to the fact that the photographer had blocked Justin from leaving with his vehicle. After taking several photos the paparazzo was then asked to move his vehicle, however he refused.
It was then that Justin got enraged and all hell broke loose as both of them got into an altercation.
The case has now been turned over to Prosecutors who are now investigating the case to see how far they are going to take it.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department also wants to interview Justin Bieber and his girlfriend Selena Gomez just to clear up all the fact of what happened that day. Authorities will also continue to seek additional witnesses.
In a statement released Tuesday, the Sheriff’s Department said the investigation was continuing and that detectives “are planning to interview Mr. Bieber.”
Detectives are investigating the said claims by the paparazzo that the Justin struck him after he snapped photographs of the singer and Gomez at the Commons at Calabasas Shopping Center.
In a sleazy move that have many questioning ethics the photographer complained of pain and was taken by the Los Angeles County Fire Department to a hospital, where he was treated and released, officials said. A spokesperson for Bieber did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
Though, it seems any interviewing will have to take place once Bieber is back stateside — he landed in Norway earlier today for his European promo tour.
Worst case scenario?? Justin could be facing 6 months in jail if convicted of committing criminal battery…!!!
Yeah right! I really don’t see Justin going to jail, but I would like to see stricter rules or laws imposed on the paparazzi as they seem to cause too much turmoil when taking photos, not only that but they constantly put people’s lives in danger.
Has everyone already forgotten the fact that the paparazzi were the main cause of Princess Diana’s passing? These guys have no respect for other people or the law. I mean who cuts off someone else in a car just to snap a photo and not expect to get into an altercation for it?
The worst thing about this is that the photographer now wants to play the victim card. Sure he has a good chance of getting a settlement check out of this but that’s just a bunch of bs considering the fact that he is out there breaking laws and pushing celebs to the limit juts to snap some photos of them. And besides how much damage can Justin Bieber really do to him? I’m sure the ambulance was not needed and was just called so they could use that for court.
I think they need to come up with some laws that will actually help out this situation so we don’t have the paparazzi running wild doing whatever they want and then suing someone the first minute they get checked for being out of line.
