"I have done nothing wrong, I truly believe my celebrity motivated
the officer to arrest me." The officer "said my name aloud during the
incident. I am certain that after a full investigation of the facts
my name will be cleared" -- Nick Carter in a statement released late
Thursday through publicist Courtney Barnes.

Ignoring all rumors, here's the story:
1. She doesn't know why Nick didn't leave.
2. She doesn't know if alcohol was involved.
3. She thought it was a "bummer" that everyone jumped all over this.
4. She discouraged sending cards, said we could best help by just going about our normal lives, and that sending cards wasted paper. She said he knows we care, that's why he asked Vicki to be in the chat.
Nick was arrested for resisting a Tampa police officer.
A fight broke out. Nick was in the process of leaving, and had one foot in the car, when a girl stopped him and asked if he knew a mutual friend. He did. He got out and talked to her. An officer asked him to leave. He ignored him and kept talking. Then the officer came by and asked him to get into the vehicle repeatedly. Nick told Vicki he explained to the officer that he was just trying to talk to a friend, but the officer still wanted him to leave. At that point, the officer counted to 3 quickly, and then arrested him, even though Nick explained to the officer that he just in the process of leaving and trying t talk to a friend.
He doesn't believe he did anything wrong, but is concerned about his younger fans' outlook. He believes it was just blown out of proportion.
According to Vicki (JWR), it's just a huge misunderstanding.
