Pop superstar Justin Bieber has been accused of an attempted robbery following an incident involving a fan and a cellphone. It is being reported that the incident took place late Monday and the police received a complaint regarding Bieber on Tuesday.
According to CNN affiliate KTLA, police officers were told that Bieber had allegedly tried to take a female fan’s phone. TMZ reports that a woman who identified herself as the one who filed the complaint “got into an altercation with some guys” at a batting cage in Sherman Oaks in Los Angeles. When Bieber saw the girl reach for her cellphone, he demanded she give him the phone to delete any photos she could have taken of him. She refused and says that he reached into her purse and took the phone.
Bieber’s camp has not yet commented on the incident or the accusations. He was spotted in Oklahoma City taking in a playoff game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Bieber has been arrested for D.U.I. in Miami and is the subject of a felony vandalism probe in Los Angeles. He was also hit with an assault charge in Toronto and is at the center of an investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration to determine whether or not he and other passengers on a charter flight from Canada to New Jersey’s Teterboro Airport interfered with the flight crew.
