The price of chasing Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and other nightclub-hopping celebrities got steeper overnight, at least for four paparazzi who were booked on charges arising from blocking sidewalks in West Hollywood.
The arrests, made early this morning and Tuesday night by Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies, continued local law enforcement efforts to crack down on aggressive paparazzi since Spears was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center last month. So many photographers, celebrity reporters and onlookers crowded the scene that patients and hospital staffers had troubling getting into the facility.
On Tuesday night, sheriff's deputies booked two photographers -- David Tonnessen, 31, and Christian Shostele, 37 -- outside B2V Salon in West Hollywood, where Spears had made a stop. The arrests came shortly before 8 p.m. after paparazzi packed the sidewalk and entranceway and had been ordered by deputies to leave enough room for passersby.
