The reason? He told cops upon his arrest that photographers were trying to shoot up fiancée Katy Perry's skirt, reports TMZ. Katy herself confirms the line of defense, via tweet, of course: "If you cross the line & try and put a lens up my dress, my fiancé will do his job & protect me." MTV has more details.
