So This Happened of the Day: TMZ is reporting that cops were called to a Maryland bar over the weekend to check out a claim from a patron who said he spotted Justin Bieber downing a few cold ones on-site. Upon arrival, however, it became apparent to the police officers that the complaint over the child crooner’s presence arose from a simple case of mistaken identity:

TMZ spoke with multiple people inside the “Mug and Mallet” bar in Ocean City who confirm that cops entered on Saturday night looking for an underage drinker with a bowl haircut and a tiny frame.

But the only person who fit that description was a 27-year-old woman named Katie.

Katie tells us she had to whip out  … her ID and prove she wasn’t JB — though she says she gets mistaken for the singer, “all the time!”

How the police get anything done besides checking up on bar-hopping women who look like Beiber is beyond me.
