Johnny Fugitive? In Spite of Indictment, Manziel Attends Justin Bieber Concert in Cleveland

Manziel was spotted at Justin Bieber's Cleveland concert in spite of being charged with misdemeanor domestic violence earlier the same day.

Johnny Manziel was expected to turn himself in to authorities after being indicted on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge early on Tuesday. Instead, Manziel chose to return to Cleveland to attend a Justin Bieber show at Quicken Loans Arena Tuesday evening.

The Bieber concert almost didn't happen as Quicken Loans Arena would have have been double-booked for Tuesday if the Cleveland Cavaliers/Detroit Pistons NBA playoff series required a game 5. The Cavaliers ended up sweeping the Pistons in four games, saving the concert for Cleveland Beliebers.

Manziel can be seen in a group photo which was posted to sarah_haden's Intagram account (photo has since been removed) and in another on jordansbelfort's Instagram account supposedly taken at The Barley House with Bieber himself. Multiple selfies have also been circulating on social media featuring Manziel at the show.
