Justin Bieber took one for the team today – he's gotten his manager off the hook for inciting a riot in an American mall in 2009.
Scooter Braun was blamed for ignoring a county fire prevention ordinance, which put 1,000 young girls in a dangerous situation. Bieber didn't end up turning up to the mall at all because the situation was so bad.
The charges again Braun were dropped today because Biebs agreed to make a public service announcement for an anti-cyberbullying campaign.
Bieber's record label took the fall as well, pleading guilty to the violation and agreeing to pay $8000 in costs.
"Mr. Braun created a dangerous safety situation using Twitter," D.A. Kathleen Rice said in a statement. "This is a unique opportunity to use the Internet, social media and Justin Bieber's star power to help make our communities safer.”
