An arrest warrant has been issued for Justin Bieber on Friday, when an Argentine judge said that the hitmaker failed to respond to summons in relation to the ordered bodyguard attacks on a photographer in Argentina back in 2013.

According to Fox News Latino, Judge Alberto Julio Banos ordered the "immediate detention" of the singer and his body guards, Hugo Alcides Hesny and Terrence Reche Smalls. Reuters noted that the order dated April 8 read, "I consider it pertinent to order the immediate detention of the accused."

Under Argentine law, Bieber, who is accused of sending his body guards to attack photographer Diego Pesoa outside a club in a trendy Palermo Hollywood neighborhood in Buenos Aires, will have to face between one month to six years of jail time if proven guilty for assault with injuries. Bieber, however, never returned to Argentina to address the questions regarding the incident.

It isn't clear whether or not the warrant would extend beyond Argentina, however Pesoa's lawyer, Matias Morla, implied that the warrant will force the singer to return to Argentina, saying, "Now we just need to wait for the police to find him and bring him to Argentina. For us, this is a triumph against all those who said this case was a bluff and that we didn't have anything."

Bieber, however, seems to have realized that his past is catching up with him as he acknowledged his misdemeanors in a recent Comedy Central roast, as noted by People Magazine. During his stint, he said, "There was really no preparing me for this life," he said. "I was thrown into this at 12 years old and didn't really know what I was getting into. There's been moments I'm really proud of, and moments I'm pretty disappointed in myself for."

The incident in Argentina is not the only run-in that the singer had with the law. In fact, according to Reuters, another judge magistrate has ordered Bieber's appearance in court for questioning over the same incident, but he didn't appear for that, as he seem to have been avoiding going back to the South American country. Entertainment Weekly also noted that he was arrested for drag racing in Miami in 2004, and an involvement with dangerous driving with assault in Ontario soon after.

Requests for comment from Bieber's reps have not been returned, according to multiple reports.

Do you think Justin should appear in the Argentinian court to address his involvement in the incident, or is the Argentinian government making a mountain out of a molehill due to Bieber's high-profile status?
