After the incident last month, the woman said that Bieber and his crew "got into an altercation with some guys" at a batting cage in Sherman Oaks. She then said Bieber saw her reaching for her cell phone and demanded she hand it over so he could delete any photos she may have taken. When she refused, she said Bieber reached into her purse and took it.

When the pop star discovered that there were no images, the woman says he began screaming at her and her daughter. In a document filed by the L.A. Country D.A., a prosecutor wrote that the incident "does not warrant felony prosecution." Nine employees at the golf course were interviewed and said that "no one who saw the encounter described any kind of physical altercation or tug-of-war involving the woman over the cell phone."
