Justin Bieber Wanted by Police for Paparazzi Scuffle

Justin Bieber’s legal headaches are getting worse as police are trying to put pieces together as to what happened in the alleged physical altercation.

The performer’s alleged May 27 scuffle with the paparazzi at the Calabasas Shopping Center in Calabasas, California just got a lot more real, as the official police report from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has been released.

Justin Bieber, 18, is now wanted for questioning by Los Angeles County Sheriff's investigators after a photographer complained of being roughed up by the pop star at a shopping center.

Deputies from the Malibu-Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station came to The Commons at Calabasas Shopping Center after receiving a call from a man who alleged he was in a physical confrontation with pop singer Justin Bieber Sunday afternoon.

Shortly after deputies arrived, they contacted the man who told deputies that as he took pictures of Justin Bieber, who was with actress Selena Gomez, he was physically battered by the singer. The man stated that Bieber left with his girlfriend, Gomez, prior to police’s arrival on the scene.

Sheriff's Lt. Robert Wiard (pronounced ward) says the photographer called 911 and complained of pain to his chest. Wiard said the physical altercation happened when the photographer tried to snap pictures of Bieber and his girlfriend, teen actress Selena Gomez, after they walked out of a theater at The Commons at Calabasas.

The victim complained of pain and requested medical attention. Personnel from the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded. The victim was brought to a local hospital where he was treated and later released.  Wiard says Bieber and Gomez left before deputies arrived, so investigators want to talk to him to get his side of the story.

The victim requested a criminal report be taken regarding the incident.  Taken from the scene was an allegation of misdemeanor Battery (242 California Penal Code) report.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Malibu-Lost Hills Station detectives are still investigating the incident.
