Justin Bieber’s battery case will be taken
‘seriously’, with the victim apparently eager for the singer to be prosecuted.
The pop star gas been accused of assaulting a fellow
resident of his gated Los Angeles community.
It is believed Justin upsets locals by speeding
around the neighborhood in his Ferrari, leading a man to confront him this
week. He apparently decided to speak to Justin because several residents were
concerned for their safety after the singer drove around the area reaching
speeds of 100 mph.
Justin is said to have reacted angrily when the man
visited his property on Tuesday, allegedly sitting in his face and threatening
to kill him.
According to TMZ, law enforcement source claim the
case will be referred to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office. The
allegation will then be taken ‘seriously’, leading to possible prosecution.
The unidentified victim- described as a 47-year old
successful businessman and father-of-three – has been fully co-operating with authorities
and allegedly wants Justin to be prosecuted.
The LA District Attorney’s office reportedly doesn’t
take kindly to spitting crimes.
TMZ reports that sources close to the department say
the act is considered ‘aggressive’ and ‘disgusting’ and is treated seriously
because it poses a health risk.
During the confrontation, Justin allegedly spat in
the man’s face and yelled, ‘Get the fuck out of here. I’m gonna fucking kill
you.”
The 19-year old singer’s security team then escorted
the neighbor off his property.
Justin has insisted he never attacked or spat at the
man. He also contends the complainant was actively trespassing throughout the
incident.
