Justin Bieber Arrested in Miami on Multiple Charges
by Shannon KeirnanMore trouble for the Bieber!
The "Never Say Never" star and singer was arrested Thursday after officers spotted Bieber's rented yellow Lamborghini racing the Miami streets early in the morning.
Bieber was pulled over for questioning and became resistant to the officer's instructions, refusing to get out of his car, and once out, refusing to keep his hands in sight.
Beiber failed a field sobriety test, was driving without a valid Florida license, drag racing, and also resisted arrest - all now charges against the young and popular singer, whose bond was set at a standard $2,500 after he was booked into a Miami jail.
Arresting officers noted Bieber and fellow racer, 19-year-old recording artist Khalil Sharieff, were spotted racing one another around 4 a.m. on Thursday, reaching speeds of around 60 miles an hour in a residential zone with a speed limit of 30. Sharieff was also arrested on charges of drunk driving, with a bond set at $1,000.
When pulled over Beiber allegedly had a "flushed face, bloodshot eyes, and the odor of alcohol on his breath."
"What the f*ck did I do? Why did you stop me?" Beiber asked the officer. Reportedly, the singer became belligerant and refused to listen to the officer's commands, including refusing to keep his hands on the car as the office did a standard pat-down for weapons.
"I ain't got no f*cking weapons. Why do you have to search me? What is this about?" Bieber demanded.
After failing a field sobriety test, Bieber stated that the had had a few beers, had smoked marijuana, and also ingested prescription drugs.
Preliminary reports are that the pills were anti-depressants, possibly contributing to his failure in the field sobriety test, as he blew a legal .014, below the blood alcohol limit. Results of a drug test are pending.
