Justin Bieber could be arrested if he ever returns to Argentina
At Justin Bieber's recent Comedy Central roast, the singer said that there are "a lot of moments I look back and I’m pretty disappointed in myself for." Some of those moments might include his recent actions in Argentina, for which a judge has ordered his arrest.
A court secretary announced Friday that if Justin Bieber returns to Argentina, Judge Alberto Julio Banos has ordered his arrest. Reuters reports that Bieber "failed to face questions about an alleged assault at a Buenos Aires nightclub in 2013."
On the night in question, Bieber allegedly ordered one of his bodyguards to attack a local photographer, Diego Pesoa, who tried to take a photo of the star. Bieber was supposed to appear for questioning about the incident in November, but he didn't show up.
