A neighbour in Bieber’s gated Calabasas neighbourhood told a sheriff’s deputy Bieber threatened him and spat in his direction when he confronted the 19-year-old about his driving last March.

Prosecutor Alan Yochelson wrote in a document Bieber’s response seemed “immature” but not necessarily criminal.

He also said there’s not enough evidence to charge Bieber over a neighbour’s complaint Bieber drove his Ferrari recklessly through the area in May. Yochelson said it’s unclear who was at the wheel.
