Justin Bieber Arrested In Miami Beach

Justin Bieber has been arrested for driving under the influence and drag racing, according to Miami Beach police.

NBC in South Florida reports that the singer was stopped early on Thursday morning while driving a rented yellow Lamborghini.

The 19-year-old, who failed a sobriety test, is understood to still be in custody and a police statement is due shortly.

Miami Dade-Police spokesman Sergeant Bobby Hernandez told WSVN in South Florida that officers saw two cars racing at 4.09am.

Mr Hernandez said two vehicles apparently had been used to block off an area on Pine Tree Drive and 26th Street for the drag race.

He said the second car was a red Ferrari, and that driver, Crazy Khalil, was also arrested. Both cars were towed.

Bieber was taken to the Miami Beach police station to be breathalysed and processed.

Mr Hernandez said the star will be transported to the Miami-Dade County jail.

The teenager has been in Florida for the past few days and has been spotted in nightclubs and at a skate park.

He posted photos on Instagram of him performing tricks on his skateboard and spraying his initials onto a wall at the park.

He is also alleged to have spent thousands of dollars at a strip club called the King of Diamonds.

Bieber's arrest comes just a week after the singer's California home was raided by police over claims he pelted his neighbour's house with eggs, causing thousands of dollars of damage.

In that case, authorities arrested one member of Bieber's entourage, rapper Lil Za, on suspicion of drug possession.

This is that point where we put our heads back, and laugh.

If he starts singing, they will probably drop all charges just to get him out of there!

Oh, please do, I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep tonight unless I hear about how... about how... ahhh... how the hockey game is going to be in LA over the weekend?

was that it?

There is no way anyone should feel bad for this guy. See how quick he dropped his mother in it by telling the police she gave him the drugs. And lets not forget his ex con dad. A wonderful team of parents.
I hope it's considered a felony down there and when he returns here he will no longer be allowed entry into the U.S.
That will teach his punk ass.
Perhaps not........

If convicted it could ruin his career. I don't think the UK will let him in to tour. I only say this because Ronnie Radke can't get a visa to tour here because of his criminal record.

Justin Bieber Leaves Jail After DUI Charge

Justin Bieber has left jail after being bailed on charges including driving under the influence of drink or drugs and resisting arrest.

The teenage pop star was earlier stopped by Miami police after apparently drag racing where he was clocked in a rented yellow Lamborghini doing around 60mph in a 30mph zone.

Bieber admitted he had been drinking, smoking marijuana and taking prescription medication, police say.

He was arrested and taken to jail from where he made his first court appearance via videolink.

He was also charged with driving with an expired licence and bail was set by a judge at $2,500 (£1,500).

After he was released from jail, Bieber, wearing a hooded black top, sat on top of a waiting SUV for a few seconds and waved to his fans.

Speaking at a press conference, Miami Beach Chief of Police Raymond Martinez said the singer had resisted arrest although he had done so "without violence".

Mr Martinez said the 19-year-old Canadian had been "belligerent" and had used some "choice words" when he was arrested.

He said Bieber had been very cooperative once he got to the station.

The star, who reportedly earned $58m (£35m) last year, arrived at Miami-Dade County Jail where he had his mugshots and fingerprints taken.

A first conviction could bring a fine of between $250 (£150) and $1,000 (£600), depending on the level of alcohol, as well as community service and possibly a jail sentence.

Yeah someone like him could easily afford that. And what? He couldn't be bothered to show up in person for the court thing?

Imagine what would happen to him if he did end up in jail.
