Terrifying? Inevitable? Harbinger? In any case, it’s a first: Police in Long Island, New York, have arrested a man for not using Twitter.

Someone named Justin Bieber, who apparently is a teenage singer, was supposed to appear at the Roosevelt Field mall on Friday, but stayed away because the crowd had become too unruly. Police asked a record label executive to help disperse the horde using the messaging service, and claim he didn’t cooperate. More from Newsday:

Police arrested a senior vice president from Bieber’s label, Island Def Jam Records, James A. Roppo, 44, of Hoboken, N.J., saying he hindered their crowd-control efforts by not cooperating.

He was in custody Friday night, pending charges that could include criminal nuisance, endangering the welfare of a minor and obstructing government administration, Smith said.

“We asked for his help in getting the crowd to go away by sending out a Twitter message,” Smith said. “By not cooperating with us we feel he put lives in danger and the public at risk.”

Slightly confusing, because Bieber’s Twitter account–presumably the one the cops wanted Roppo to use–does indeed show that he asked his fans to leave at 4:30 pm Eastern:

But apparently that was too late:

Here’s what a mall full of unruly Justin Bieber fans looks like, by the way. Not sure how helpful Twitter would have in the face of this:

I never heard of him until a few nights ago I saw on the news that he was involved in a Twitter battle with John Mayer. Have no clue what that was about.....

Justin Bieber has become the youngest solo male artist since Stevie Wonder to have a number 1 album on the Billboard Top 200.

The Never Let You Go singer, has broken a hoard of US chart records as he has been named the youngest male ever to score two simultaneous albums in the top five, as well as taking Stevie Wonder's previous record.

[easjer]

One of my coworkers conned me into watching that video.

I want those minutes of my life back.

[desflood]

That kid needs a haircut.

Merciful mother of God. I knew that eventually some insane scientist would throw ethics out the window and attempt to clone a human being, but I never dreamed their first success would be Donny Osmond.

Not everyone. The only place I've ever heard about this twirp is here on ST---and I have a 12 and 13 year old! When I asked about him, one of them pretended to vomit and the other one left the room in disgust.

Haha ok. Thank god there are still normal kids left lol
I was wondering, because lately I see so many kids who are totally going crazy about this kid, and I can't seem to understand why.

[JamStone]

That is such a butseks looking picture.

[panic giraffe]

man usher's choice in girls has gone downhill since his divorce.

[Stringer_Bell]

I saw the kid give an interview where he called himself "an artist." Now he's discussed in the same sentence as Stevie Wonder? I'm so glad the record industry suffers when they do, we don't need this polluting out ears.

[Marklar MM]

sounds like a girl

[ashbeeigh]

Bieber is on Def Jam Records, Corso?

He's the first person Usher signed. Whatever label that is.

Don't hate that I know too much about Beiber. I'm really a 12 year girl on the inside.
