JUSTIN BIEBER: CHARGES DROPPED IN MALL FRENZY

RIOT
DOUCHEBAG popstar Justin Bieber has agreed to record a public service announcement on cyberbullying so that criminal charges filed against his manager and a record executive after a frenzy at a New York mall will be dropped.
Back in 2009 thousands of squealing fans turned up Long Island clothing store to see the teen pop star sign autographs and overwhelmed cops, stunned by the size of the crowd cancelled the event.
But Def Jam Records executive James Roppo was arrested after police said he refused to help disperse the baying mob, eager to catch a glimpse of the "One Time" singer.  Months later, the NYPD also pressed child endangerment charges against Bieber's manager, Scott Braun.

Braun hadn't been at the mall, but police said that when reached by phone he initially refused an order to send out a Twitter message to Bieber's fans telling them he wouldn't appear.
Prosecutors told a judge Friday that they are dropping charges against both men and the record company and a management company pleaded guilty to fire code violations.
Nassau District Attorney Kathleen Rice told Newsday she was happy with the outcome of the case.
She said: "To have someone like Justin Bieber, who is emulated by kids his age across the world, educating people about the dangers of cyberbullying, that's invaluable."
