MIAMI BEACH (CBSMiami) –Justin Bieber’s latest run-in with the law was in South Florida after the teen sensation was arrested in Miami Beach for DUI and drag-racing, 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 CBS4 news partner The Miami Herald. He was arrested at 4:09 a.m. at Pine Tree Drive and 26th Street in a yellow Lamborghini.
“He was pulled over and failed a field sobriety test,” Miami Beach Police Sgt. Bobby Hernandez told the Sun-Sentinel. “He was then taken to the police station to be offered a breathalyzer.”
Test showed that Bieber was under the influence of drugs, Miami Beach Police Chief Raymond Martinez told the Miami Herald.
Bieber was incoherent, had his hands in his pockets and resisted arrest without violence, Martinez told the paper. He also did not have a valid license, the chief said.
Bieber told officers that he had a beer, was under the influence of anti-depressants and had been smoking marijuana all day, according to the paper.

Really? Getting loaded and drag racing is about as manly as this douche has ever gotten. I look at this as a sign he is finally getting his act together.
You people are just so...so mean to the Bieb. He's hurting and needs comforting, not barbs.
