Justin Bieber can be painful. No, not his music, although opinions may vary on that account.
According to KMGH-TV in Denver, police officer Michael Nuanes Jr. was arrested for beating his girlfriend, and claimed in his defense that she threw a Justin Bieber doll at him, leaving a bruise on his foot.
According to the police affidavit, Nuanes called the figure a "Barbie doll," but his colleagues on the force helpfully noted in their report that the doll he pointed out was actually a Justin Bieber doll.
"Michael Nuanes stated that (his girlfriend) had thrown a 'Barbie Doll' at him, which bruised his foot and (said) that it hurt," the affidavit apparently said. "Nuanes pointed out a 'Justin Bieber' doll, which was the item used to injure him."
The rest of the story is pretty sad. Nuanes' girlfriend says that in the Jan. 14 incident, he pulled her hair out, punched her, kicked in a locked bathroom door to get to her and hit her with part of the door.
Technology is involved too, with both parties using the audio and video on their phones to try and record the incident, and Nuanes' girlfriend reportedly messaging a friend from her iPad while locked in the bathroom hiding from him. And the argument reportely all started when, according to KMGH, "Nuanes gave her an ultimatum to change her Facebook page status to say she was in a relationship with him."
Nuanes was arrested and released, and has been assigned to desk duty.
KMGH has a full report, which includes mention of an abuse lawsuit brought against Nuanes in 2005.
The Bieber doll, which was one of two dolls thrown at Nuanes (the identity of the other doll was not released) was broken in the attack.
