Sheriff’s deputies investigate neighbour’s accusation of battery by Justin Bieber

CALABASAS, Calif. – Justin Bieber’s neighbour in Southern California has accused the pop singer of battery and making threats during an argument.

Los Angeles County Sherriff’s Department spokesman Steve Whitmore says authorities were called to the scene in Calabasas just after 9 a.m. Tuesday.

Whitmore says it’s unclear who called authorities, and whether there have been previous complaints about problems between the 19-year-old crooner and neighbours.

Whitmore says there has been no arrest and the situation remains under investigation.

A representative of Beiber did not immediately return a request for comment.

The investigation was first reported by TMZ.com.
