The manager for teen pop sensation Justin Bieber has been arrested on Long Island

Justin Bieber's Manager Arrested On L.I.
NEW YORK
Scott "Scooter" Braun surrendered to Nassau County Police on Wednesday.

His arrest stems from a November mall appearance by Bieber.

When the large crowd became unruly, police told Braun to send out a Twitter message saying the event was canceled. Bieber never got out of the car.

The prosecutor says it took Braun 1 1/2 hours to send two tweets. His lawyer said it took seven minutes.

Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice said Bieber was scheduled to sign autographs at the clothing store, Justice, inside the Roosevelt Field Mall from 4 to 6 p.m. The event was coordinated by Bieber's record label, Island Def Jam Music Group.

Braun was awaiting arraignment Wednesday in Hempstead. He faces up to one year in jail if convicted. His lawyer said he will plead not guilty to reckless endangerment and criminal nuisance
