Creepy Paparazzi, Edwin Merino, Busted for Stalking Jamie Lynn Spears
You know you’re a creepy photog when you get arrested for stalking a celebrity.
Edwin Merino was arrested in Liberty, Miss. and accused of stalking pregnant teen Jamie Lynn Spears.
He was released on bond after a deputy drove him to an ATM to get the $1,143 bail, according to AP.
Authorities say that the photographer wouldn’t leave Spears and baby daddy Casey Aldridge alone. Merino said he was 200 feet from the two using a telephoto lens when he was nabbed at a gas station.
Are Jamie Spears photos really worth that much?
Merino has worked as a photog for five years, most notably as one of the lensmen who shot Britney’s infamous “commando” pix.
Commenting on his arrest, Merino said, “I just think since I was the only one there, it was just easier for them to single me out.”
In a random twist, Merino said the only good picture of Jamie and Casey that he got on his trip to Mississippi was when “I got lucky when I saw them at Wal-Mart when I was buying deodorant.”
Oh you have to love Wal-Mart!
hey
i am a big fan i wich your shows all the time
