Scott “Scooter” Braun is Asher Roth’s manager, but he got arrested today for another act he manages: Justin Bieber. He surrendered himself to Nassau County police today and awaits arraignment on charges of reckless endangerment and criminal nuisance, to which his lawyer says he will plead not guilty.

The arrest stems from a planned mall appearance in Long Island dating back to November. Police told Scooter to send out a Twitter message saying that the event got canceled when the crowd got unruly, but the prosecutor says it took him an hour and a half to write two tweets. His lawyer says it took seven minutes.

If convicted he could spend a year in prison.
