Justin Bieber faces possible 6mo jail sentence for battery, prosecutors will go forth

A few days ago, we reported how Justin Bieber was suspected of battery during a “physical altercation” with a pap, which still remains a mighty hilarious story because who would ever want to admit that they got their ass kicked by the Bieb? Sure enough, the photographer has filed a report with the police (naming Bieber as the ass kicker), and prosecutors are looking to officially question Bieber when he returns from business in Norway. If he’s found guilty of criminal battery, Biebs could spend six months in the slammer. Can you imagine?

Justin Bieber’s brawl with a photog over the weekend isn’t going to just disappear … TMZ has learned the case WILL be referred to the L.A. County D.A. for possible criminal prosecution.
We’re told cops have already decided to refer the case to prosecutors, even though the investigation is far from complete. They have requested to interview the Biebs, but he’s in Norway now. It’s pretty typical for police to refer high-profile cases to prosecutors.
TMZ broke the story … Bieber’s a suspect for allegedly committing criminal battery against a photog in Calabasas Sunday afternoon. The photog called 911 after the scuffle, but by the time cops arrived, the singer had split.
The pap was taken to a nearby hospital in an ambulance. He then filed a police report naming Bieber as the culprit.
If Bieber is charged and convicted, he’d face 6 months in jail. But the photog faces an even worse fate — having to tell people Justin Bieber kicked his ass.

We all know Justin Bieber will never serve jail time for this alleged crime. Even if he’s guilty of serving a genuine beat down, Biebs will pay the photog off before any mention of legal proceedings. In related news, Lainey has a story about how Justin might have had a major fight with girlfriend Selena Gomez that soured his mood before the alleged pap-smackdown incident occurred. According to this take, Justin tweeted “thank you for the time i had with you but i have to move on now” a few days prior to the pap incident. If a breakup actually happened, then obviously Justin and Selena got back together. Ah, young love.
