Cop Blames Bieber Doll For Beating

A Denver police officer charged with beating his girlfriend claims that she provoked him by throwing a Justin Bieber doll at him.

Michael Nuanes, Jr., 37, is free on bond and facing charges that include misdemeanor assault causing injury and property damage, KMGH-TV reported Monday.

The charges stem from a January incident in which he allegedly punched his 42-year-old girlfriend in the ribs, pulled her hair and beat her with a piece of a broken bathroom door he had kicked in.

Nuanes claimed that the woman had “thrown a ‘Barbie Doll’ at him, which bruised his foot and [said] that it hurt,” according to an Adams County Sheriff’s Office affidavit.

“Nuanes pointed out a ‘Justin Bieber’ doll, which was the item used to injure him,” the affidavit continued.-[source]
