Spears camp slams 'roadie fight'

Britney Spears' representatives have released a statement about the fracas that saw two tour roadies arrested for an alleged fight with police.

Police in Pittsburgh stepped in to break up a fight that had broken out when one of the contracted workers hit an officer, it is alleged.

Representatives for the singer said that the behaviour is not tolerated by those involved in the tour and that the two men had since been sacked by their employers.

The incident took place on Wednesday in Pittsburgh, where Britney was performing.

In the melee, one of the accused was Tasered after resisting arrest.

Britney's camp said the men were employees of a firm contracted to provide equipment for the tour.

A statement on the singer's website added: "Neither of the men involved are employees of the tour. The two individuals have since been dismissed by their employer.

"The Circus Starring Britney Spears tour does not support or tolerate this type of behaviour."
