Backstreeter Nick Carter Makes Deal to Avoid Jail
Attorney Scott Salomon Reaches Deal with Hillsborough County State
Attorney
Fort Lauderdale - After months of negotiations, attorney Scott Salomon
announced today the dismissal of all charges against his client, Nick
Carter, lead singer of the Backstreet Boys.
Originally, facing up to a one-year jail sentence for allegedly
disobeying a police officer's request to leave a Tampa nightclub on
January 2, 2002, which Salomon claimed was grossly unjustified,
Salomon negotiated 16 hours of community service, small fines and
apology letters to the two Hillsborough County police officers which
resulted in the clearing of Carter's record. Although Carter was
required to complete only 16 hours of community service, he has
voluntarily completed over 40 hours of service.
"I am glad to have this behind me," Carter said. "Scott
did everything that he said he would do and I was happy with the level
of service that he provided to me."
Only days after Carter's arrest, attorney Scott Salomon agreed to
enter his client into a misdemeanor intervention program keeping him
out of jail ultimately wiping his record clean. However, it's only
after eight months of negotiations with Hillsborough County Assistant
State Attorney, Sandra Spoto, that Salomon secured a full dismissal of
Carter's case. "Until now the finality of the deal was under
speculation," said Salomon. Carter could have been charged with a
misdemeanor count of resisting or opposing a law-enforcement officer
without violence.
Noted Salomon, "This was a case of a major celebrity being used
as an opportunity for a flashy arrest. Nick did not do anything wrong,
but be a celebrity in the wrong place at the wrong time. The police
have a tendency to make a big deal over a very minor
altercation."
Scott Salomon is one of Florida's most sought-after attorneys. His
past and present clients include former NBA player, John Salley;
Woman's professional football player, Anita Marks; former Miami
Dolphin player, Reggie Roby; Cincinnati Bengals Fullback, Nick
Williams and Minnesota Vikings Defensive Lineman, Talance Sawyer.
Salomon was nationally recognized in 1994 while representing Noel
Lemon, owner of the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers during a well-known
licensing-agreement case. Lemon was a key player in bringing the World
Cup to the U.S. in 1994.
Originally from New Jersey, Salomon is a graduate of the University of
Miami and St. Thomas Law School. A South Florida attorney for more
than 10 years, Salomon launched his career as an intern with the
office of the public defender in Dade County prior to establishing a
private general practice with an emphasis on real estate, sports and
entertainment. Scott Alan Salomon, Esq. maintains offices at The
Salomon Law Center, located at 2770 University Drive, 954-755-6700. To

Nick
Carter finishing up solo album
back up

Nick Carter wants to prove he's more than just a pretty boy pop
singer.
The youngest member of the Backstreet Boys has been recording his
first solo album, scheduled for release in October, on which he plays
the drums.
"I'm trying to put my rock influence in, big time," Carter
told Teen People for its September issue.
"A lot of rock nowadays, you know, everybody's digging Linkin
Park and all that stuff, but I want to bring more of a pop essence to
the rock, but still keep it from being corny. I'm definitely pushing
the envelope."
But the 22-year-old admits he also likes some adult contemporary
music, like Journey and Bryan Adams.
"When I grew up, my mom and dad always played that music around
the house, so it's probably a parental thing," he said. "I
don't know if I'm an old soul, but I like history. I like old
stuff."
