Teen sensation Justin Bieber was recently in Island resulting in minor injuries and one arrest.
More than 3,000 people gathered to see Bieber at the Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City, New York. Pushing and shoving matches broke out and a barrier collapsed, forcing the police were required to intervene and thus cancel the appearance.
Five people were sent to a hospital.
The person arrested was James Roppo, a vice president of Island Def Jam Records, which released Bieber’s debut album My World last week. Roppo was charged with endangering the welfare of children and obstructing governmental administration for – get this – refusing to send a Twitter message asking the crowd to leave.
Bieber was told by cops that he would have to cancel or risk getting arrested. On Twitter he wrote: “wow. this upsets me. the mall should of had proper security. They wouldnt let me in! Gotta make this right 4 the fans.”

James Roppo Arrested For Tweeting?
how would the kids even get the twitts. Mall security should have taken care of it. why didnt the police or security just tell them to leave.
Whose Justin Bieber, is he worth storming a mall?
So they arrested him for not doing the job of the police and security? I can’t wait to see what the courts say.
