Orlando Under Investigation For Hit & Run

Could Orlando Bloom be joining Britney Spears in the ranks of celebrity hit and run charges? There’s a strong possibility that he will, as he did walk away from a crash scene in the early hours of last weekend, and his accident is now under the investigation of the LAPD.
TMZ is reporting today that the LAPD investigation into the crash is “open and active,” and that ‘Landy could be facing some serious penalties if he’s found guilty in court (although, considering Britney’s 45 minutes in prison for a similar offense just recently, he’s really got nothing to worry about).
Apparently, Orlando is claiming that it’s the paparazzi’s fault, saying that they were the ones who cut him off and caused the accident… but the paparazzi weren’t the ones to flee the scene of the crash, were they? ÂÂ
A source who were there at the time of the crash said they heard the victim scream out to ‘Landy, “What, are you gonna leave me on the street?” Moments later, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor did just that, running away from the scene until the taunts of the paparazzi prompted him to come back. ÂÂ
Sounds like the paps were trying to stop him from breaking the law even further to me.
Of course, Bloom’s reps have refused to comment on the situation at this time… surprise, surprise.
