Paparazzo Arrested for Stalking Jamie Lynn Spears

Here's the difference between living in Hollywood and, well, not. An overly-aggressive photographer was arrested in Mississippi yesterday, after being accused of stalking Jamie Lynn Spears.

Police in the small town of Liberty say that Edwin W. Merino wouldn't leave the pregnant star and her fiancé, Casey Aldridge, alone -- a claim which he denied in an interview with the AP. The pap said he said that he was about 200 feet away from the couple, using a long lens, when he was arrested at a gas station. Poor guy says he didn't even get anything really good.

"The one picture I got was kind of by luck," he said. "I got lucky when I saw them at Wal-Mart when I was buying deodorant."

Merino posted bail for himself and was heading back to California, where he would be free to chase star' cars, camp out on their front lawns, and snap shots of them sunbathing topless.
