Shopper's plan to hire homeless people to queue for new iPhone ends in chaos - Telegraph.co.uk

The would-be entrepreneur, whose name was not released, was clutching a single bag stuffed with iPhones when he was escorted into a police cruiser and driven away at around 9:30am. The man was not cited because he did nothing illegal, Clawson said. Police were not investigating the incident, he said. Most of the people recruited to wait in line weren't paid by the man, Moody said, estimating that the man brought 70 to 80 people to the store. In a separate incident hours earlier at the same store, two men were arrested after getting into a fist-fight while in line. No significant injuries were reported. Police estimated that at least 200 people were on the sidewalk outside the store overnight. Some had been there for several days. The store hired two Pasadena police officers to control the crowd, Clawson said. Apple's new iPhone models, the 5S and 5C, were released worldwide Friday.
