Justin Bieber Fan Frenzy Caused by Manager or Cops?

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) A mass of fans infected with Justin Bieber fever, caused cops to force the teen singing sensation to cancel one of his appearances at the Roosevelt Field Mall last November; however, the fans could not be tamed and the frenzy reportedly left five people with minor injuries.

Who's to blame? As "Justin Bieber fever" is not a legitimate medical-style disease, cops are looking at Bieber's manager Scott "Scooter" Braun, reports RadarOnline.

Braun, says RadarOnline, is facing possible jail time for reckless endangerment and criminal nuisance, and made an appearance in a Long Island, N.Y. courtroom Wednesday for a "status update."

Braun hopes to get charges related to the mall incident dropped, reports the gossip site.

Braun's lawyers believe that their client should not be held responsible for the incident, but rather that mall security and police are to blame, reports RadarOnline.

"We believe the people that were responsible for security should have to answer ... and the five minor injuries that were caused were because of the way the police handled the cancellation of the event," attorney Ravi Batra told Radar Online in an exclusive interview.

On the other hand, prosecutors maintain that cops told Braun to cancel the 16-year-old's event immediately before the "situation" - a.k.a screaming teenage girls - escalated even further. Unfortunately for "Scooter," the frenzy intensified during the alleged 90 minutes he waited before alerting fans via Twitter that the event was canceled.
