Jamie Lynn Spears

Edwin Merino – 30 year old celebrity photographer (aka paparazzi) from Los Angeles has been arrested for stalking Jamie Lynn Spears and her boyfriend/fiance Casey Aldridge in Liberty, Mississippi. The accusations stated that Edwin Merino kept pestering pregnant teen day in and day out.

Edwin Merino was arrested as he was taking pictures of Jamie Lynn and Casey at the gas station, even though he claimed that he was 200 feet away from the couple. The bond of $1,143 was posted after a cop drove Edwin to the ATM where he was able to withdraw the funds. He is ordered to appear in court next week.

Edwin Merino told Yahoo he believes that he only got arrested, because he was the only photographer following them around so it was easy to single him out. He also said his time in Mississippi was a waste for the most time as the only decent picture he got was when he stumbled upon the couple in Wal-Mart while he was buying a deodorant for himself. The rest of the pictures didn’t work out.

Jamie Lynn Spears is expected to give birth any day.
