Canadian singer Justin Bieber, 17, had a run in today with an undercover New York City police officer. One of Justin’s security team was cited for disorderly conduct. The whole situation was actually a big misunderstanding. Justin was signing autographs outside Macy’s Herald Square when the crowd got a little too enthusiastic and an undercover police officer stepped in to help. Justin did not know the man was a police officer he thought he was a crazy fan. Justin was at Macy’s to promote his new fragrance ‘Someday.’
TMZ has the scoop: Problem is — Bieber didn’t know the guy was a cop — so when the cop got close to Justin … Bieber got defensive thinking he was a crazy fan. A member of Bieber’s security team immediately grabbed the cop and tried to pull him away. The cop quickly identified himself — and cited the security team member for disorderly conduct.
But this story has a happy ending … sources connected to the situation tell us both sides straightened everything out — and Bieber is still signing autographs inside the department store.
The story does not seem believable – the police officer would have identified himself. If he was trying to help Justin there was not reason to hide his identity. Wonder how long it is going to take until the cop gets harassing tweets and e-mails from the Beliebers?
