MIAMI BEACH, Florida (CBSMiami) - International pop star Justin Bieber has found himself on the wrong side of the law after he was arrested in Miami Beach for DUI, drag-racing and resisting arrest without violence, according to Miami Beach police.
Bieber has been in town the past few days, and was reportedly visiting a club on Lincoln Road Wednesday night.
Bieber's entourage reportedly used their cars to block traffic on Pine Tree Drive to create a drag strip for the young star, according to The Miami Herald. He was arrested at 4:09 a.m. at Pine Tree Drive and 26th Street in a yellow Lamborghini.
The area of Pine Tree Drive where the alleged drag racing was going on is a residential area with a 30 miles per hour speed limit. The arresting officer estimated Bieber was going twice the speed limit.
According to the arrest report, the arresting officer said, "I immediately smelled an odor of alcohol eminating from the drivers breath and bloodshot eyes. The driver had slow deliberate movements and a stuper look on his face.
"He felt at that time that Mr. Bieber may have been impaired," Hernandez said.
The arresting officer said Bieber stated, "Why the f*** are you doing this?" "Finally, the driver exited the vehicle as he kept going into his pants pockets."
The officer said he asked Bieber to not go into his pants and put his hands on top of the car. The arresting officer said Bieber took his hands off the car and faced the officer. The officer said he told Bieber to look forward because he was going to perform a patdown.
Bieber responded to the officer, "What the f*** is this about?"
The officer said if Bieber didn't cooperate, he would be subject to arrest. Bieber, according to the arresting officer, turned around to face the officer and the officer grabbed his right hand and told him he was under arrest.
Bieber responded, "What the f*** are you doing?"
"He was brought to the Miami Beach Police station where a DUI investigation was conducted," Martinez said.
According to the police report, once at the Miami Beach Police Department, officers noticed Bieber had a "flushed face, bloodshot eyes, and the odor of an alcoholic beverages on his breath." Police conducted a sobriety field test on "a flat, dry, smooth, and well lit surface" and that Biber, "did not perform to standards," and later agreed to a breath test and drug evaluation.
"During the investigation, Bieber made a statement that he had consumed some alcohol, had been smoking marijuana and had consumed some prescription medication," Martinez said.
The chief also noted that Bieber is under 21 and not allowed to drink anyway.
Martinez said Bieber has been cooperative with police and not caused any problems during his booking. Bieber faces charges of DUI, driving without a valid license, and resisting arrest without violence.
Just before 10 a.m. Thursday, Bieber was still at Miami Beach Police Headquarters and was expected to be transported within the hour to Turner Guilford Knight Correction Center.
Hernandez added that the driver of a red Ferrari was also arrested. Hernandez has identified the second driver as Khalil Amir Sharieff, a singer previously signed with Def Jam Records.
Both the Lamborghini and the Ferrari were taken to the police department's impound lot.
Earlier in the evening, Bieber and South Florida model Chantel Jeffries cruised South Beach taking pictures with fans. The pictures were posted on a Bieber fan page on tumblr.com.
On Monday, the 'Biebs' made headlines in Miami after he reportedly made it rain at a Miami Beach strip club. TMZ reported that Bieber was spotted earlier in the evening at Mansion nightclub on South Beach. Then he went to the King of Diamonds strip club. The club's manager, Disco Rick, told WINZ radio that Bieber was at the club, but was served no alcohol, and stayed in a VIP room.
The manager said Bieber stuffed wads of $100 bills into the hands of numerous unclothed coquettes.
Bieber's visit to South Florida has also led to an investigation in the city of Opa-locka where officials are investigating the unauthorized police escort given to Bieber Monday night by two of the department's marked squad cars.
Opa-locka Assistant City Manager David Chiverton confirmed the questionable escort to CBS4's Gary Nelson.
"This escort that was done for Justin Bieber was unauthorized. We have spoken to our police administration and they are investigating the matter," Chiverton said.
Just last week, investigators in California searched Bieber's home in Calabasas during a search for evidence that the pop star was involved in an egg-tossing vandalism case that caused thousands of dollars in damage to a neighbor's home.
Bieber, 19, was at the home and cooperated with authorities but was not interviewed by detectives.
As his downfall has been in the public view for the last few weeks, some Hollywood stars have already started weighing in on his arrest.
"This is the best thing that could have happened to him," said former child star Danny Bonaduce on his radio morning show on Seattle's KZOK-FM. "Speaking from personal experience, this (arrest) could save his life."
Bonaduce became famous as part of the Partridge Family TV series cast in the early 1970's. His life took troubling turns in the years after the show, and in 1990, he was arrested for trying to buy cocaine in Daytona Beach, Florida.
