Island record label exec arrested for not using Twitter

Island Def Jam Vice President of sales James Roppo was arrested for apparently not using Twitter to stop a near riot. This article explains it all...

The Post described the scene as a “near riot,” explaining that it took police two hours to restore order. Many fans refused to clear the area in hopes that Bieber was still going to make his appearance. And that’s where James Roppo, the senior vice president of sales at Island Def Jam Records, and his Twitter message – or lack of Twitter message – comes in. "We asked for his help in getting the crowd to go away by sending out a Twitter message," said Nassau County Police Det. Lt. Kevin Smith. "By not cooperating with us, we feel he put lives in danger and the public at risk." Because he refused to cooperate with police and send out a 140-character message, Roppo was arrested.
