Justin Bieber's Manager Is Off the Hook for Creating Mass Hysteria at an Aborted Mall Autograph Signing in 2009

JUSTIN BIEBER'S manager, Scott "Scooter" Braun, is in the clear.

Scooter had been charged with reckless endangerment and criminal nuisance for an incident in November of 2009, when an army of 10,000 teenage girls with Bieber Fever showed up for an autograph signing at a Long Island mall.


Police said Scooter failed to control the situation, because officials ordered him to send a Twitter message out telling fans that the event had been canceled . . . and he REFUSED. One girl was hospitalized after being trampled in the chaos.


The charges against Scooter were dropped in a plea deal on Friday . . . but not without some help from Justin and his label.


Justin agreed to film a PSA for a cyber-bullying campaign, which will be shown at schools . . . and Island Def Jam agreed to cough up $8,000 to cover the cost of having local law enforcement and the fire marshal control the crowd.
