Backstreet Sister In Halloween Scuffle

Turns out Backstreet Boy Nick Carter's headaches are not limited to plummeting album sales. Two of the 22-year-old singer's kid sisters were involved in a Halloween night brawl in the Florida Keys that resulted in the arrest of boisterous Bobbie Jean "BJ" Carter on a battery charges. According to Monroe County Sheriff's reports, the trouble started after Angel Carter (the 14-year-old twin of singer Aaron Carter) dissed a group of teenage girls with the greeting, "Hey whores." In short order, 20-year-old BJ arrived on the scene to provide some muscle for her teen sibling, witnesses told cops. After allegedly punching one 15-year-old girl in the face, BJ then pummeled and bit another teen. When cops arrived, officers detected a faint odor of alcohol on BJ's breath and reported that her "eyes appeared glassy." The wannabe model/actress explained to officers, "this is what happens when you mess with her family," according to one sheriff's report. After being handcuffed and placed in a police cruiser, an agitated BJ started banging her head on the patrol car's plexiglass divider. The case against Carter--who took a few lumps during the Halloween melee--has been forwarded to local prosecutors. (5 pages)

This wasn't BJ's first brush with the law.
