Police Arrest Man For Refusing To Tweet

Posted by samzenpus on from the when-they-say-tweet-you-better-tweet dept.

RichZellich writes "Police arrested a senior vice president from Island Def Jam Records, saying he hindered their crowd-control efforts by not cooperating. The crowd at a mall where Justin Bieber was appearing got out of control, and police wanted the man to send a tweet asking for calm; he refused and they arrested him on a felony assault charge 'for putting people in danger.'"

    Hes saying he started an account to make Pizza analogies, and plans on continuing to do so until everyone is pissed at his attention whoring, or they all form a mob to get autographs from him when he sends out tweets. Whichever comes first.

    by means of releasing a dangerous animal under circumstances evincing the actor's intent that the animal obstruct governmental administration.

    Doesn't apply.

    Are you kidding? The man released Justin Bieber into a mall. Has a more dangerous animal ever been released into a more governmental structure?
