Tampa, Fla. — Backstreet Boy Nick Carter was arrested for refusing to follow police officers' orders to leave a nightclub after a fight broke out.
Carter, 21, was charged Wednesday with a misdemeanor count of resisting/opposing a law enforcement officer. He was released on his own recognizance.
His first court appearance is March 4.
Police were called to the Pop City nightclub early in the evening Wednesday because of a fight. They returned to the nightclub later to break up another disturbance. While officers were there, Carter became involved in an argument with a woman, according to the arrest affidavit.
He was told to leave the nightclub more than 10 times until officers told him to leave by "the count of 3" or he would be arrested. Carter continued the argument and was arrested.
