The Biebs was reportedly involved in an altercation with a photographer in a shopping centre car park in Calabasses, California, last May and is expected to be called in for questioning when he returns to the US. He is currently promoting his upcoming Believe album around the world.
Lawyer Anahita Sedaghatfar (not connected with the case), told Fox News yesterday: “He will definitely be called in for questioning. This is a high-profile case which has gotten a ton of media attention. The police will have to dot their Is and cross their Ts for sure. However, Bieber is under no legal obligation to talk to the police. He likely will speak to them nevertheless, of course with his attorneys’ guidance.”
She also added: “The police will have to get his side of the story in order to determine whether to dump the case or turn it over to prosecutors. They certainly cannot press charges based on the little evidence they have now.”
Justin Bieber declined to comment, but the Los Angeles county sheriff confirmed that the case was still open.
