Backstreet Boy Nick Carter Busted!
The blond, 21-year-old singer (and youngest Boy of the Backstreet) has been charged with a misdemeanor count of resisting or opposing a law enforcement officer without violence. Carter was cuffed and placed in a squad car, but was later released on his own recognizance, police say. He's due in court March 4.
Carter denies the charges. "I have done nothing wrong," he said in a statement. "My arrest at Pop City Nightclub last night was a result of simply moving too slow. I was attempting to comply with an officer's request to leave a club when I was detained and given a citation."
Police pulled up to the club late Tuesday night after a fight reportedly broke out, and they returned around 3 a.m. to break up another scuffle. As officers were making arrests and breaking up the melée, Carter allegedly began arguing with an unidentified woman, according to the arrest report (a copy of which has been posted on The Smoking Gun).
Cops say they asked Carter to leave the club at least 10 times before giving him the parental-style "count of three" or he'd be arrested. Sure enough, police say Carter wanted it that way: He kept playing games with their heart and was promptly cuffed.
"The cops arrested him, put him in handcuffs, and then put him in the police car. Nick wasn't belligerent, but he started bawling," one eyewitness, speaking on the condition of anonymity, tells The Smoking Gun.
"He said, 'You just want to arrest a Backstreet Boy. I've never been arrested. I don't know what to do!' He was crying hard. Tears were streaming down his face. People were laughing at him. The cops were chuckling."
Funny or not, Carter insists the cops were out to get him. "I truly believe my celebrity motivated the officer to arrest me. He said my name aloud during the incident," he said. "I am certain that after a full investigation of the facts, my name will be cleared."
Carter, whose younger brother Aaron has embarked on his own solo pop career, lives outside Tampa, and according to the Backstreet Boys Website, is the group's official prankster. More fittingly, Carter also goes by the nicknames "Chaos," "Mr. Hyper Man" and "Frack" (which, we now presume, is short for "fracas").
Up until now, it seems the only Backstreet Boy making tabloid headlines was the group's "official" bad boy, A.J. McLean--the tattooed Backstreeter who in July checked himself into rehab for alcohol abuse and depression. The group was forced to postpone its U.S. and Canadian tour twice, but the 24-year-old singer returned to the group in August, declaring his sobriety and helping his bandmates push their Black & Blue disc and their new greatest hits disc, The Hits: Chapter One.
The group is currently scoring sentimental points on Total Request Live with its hit single "Drowning," off the best-of compilation.
