Justin Bieber Could Face Criminal Prosecution for Photog Scuffle
After his much-talked-about altercation with a paparazzo over the weekend, Justin Bieber has landed himself in the middle of a police investigation.
The latest reports tell that the "Baby" singer could face criminal prosecution for a misdemeanor battery after allegedly getting into a scuffle with a shutterbug on his way out of the movie theaters with girlfriend Selena Gomez in Los Angeles on Sunday.
According to TMZ, The Los Angeles Police Department have turned the case over to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office, which is a typical scenario for high-profile cases.
Although a spokesperson for the D.A.'s office tells Gossip Cop prosecutors have yet to act, prosecutors are referring to the case as a criminal prosecution.
Following the incident the 19-year-old tweeted, "gonna focus on the important stuff. the music."
Authorities have requested to talk to Bieber about the altercation but he jetted off to Norway and it seems he'll be across the pond for a little while.
Justin tweeted yesterday, "ok. going to board. OFF TO EUROPE! PHASE 1 of operation secret concerts! lol. OSLO first stop. See u soon....and...when i land #DieInYourArms and #BOYFRIEND will be out!! Countdown and then #BIEBERBLAST !!!! thanks! see u soon. much love. #BELIEVE".
