Mr. Bieber and Ms. Gomez have fully cooperated in the police investigation,' Bieber's lawyer adds in a statement to MTV News.
Justin Bieber‘s latest legal woes may have something to do with the paparazzi, according to the pop star’s attorneys.
Bieber is facing new charges after he was arrested
near his hometown of Stratford, Ontario, on Friday for dangerous
driving and assault following a collision between a minivan and an ATV.
Justin, who was photographed over the weekend riding an ATV with his apparently on-again girlfriend Selena Gomez, reportedly got into a fight with the driver of the minivan.
“Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez’s peaceful retreat in Stratford this
weekend was unfortunately disrupted by the unwelcome presence of
paparazzi,” Justin’s lawyer, Brian H. Greenspan, said in a statement to
MTV News. “This has regrettably resulted in charges of dangerous driving
and assault. Mr. Bieber and Ms. Gomez have fully cooperated in the
police investigation. We are hopeful that this matter will be quickly
resolved.”
Justin, 20, went to the Ontario Provincial Police department and was
arrested; he was later released and scheduled to appear in court on
September 29.
The “Confident” singer’s other lawyer, Roy Black, also spoke out,
echoing Greenspan’s statement regarding the paparazzi’s role in the
singer’s latest legal troubles.
“Justin, like many celebrities are continually harassed by police.
Their privacy is shredded and these incidents can become dangerous.
While the public is not [particularly] sympathetic, they must realize
how difficult these cameramen make their lives,” Black told People.
“So I am not surprised there is a conflict it happens quite often, and
as long as the paparazzi are highly paid for their photographs, they
will continue.”
Seven months after his arrest in Miami, Justin recently pleaded guilty
to misdemeanor charges of carless driving and resisting arrest in a
deal with prosecutors that will spare him jail time. He was also given
two years’ probation, community service and forced to enroll in anger management courses after being charged with misdemeanor vandalism for the alleged egging of a neighbor’s house
