Pantai Miami (B2B) - Bintang pop remaja Justin Bieber ditahan di Florida Selatan pada Kamis dengan tuduhan mengemudi sambil mabuk setelah tertangkap melakukan balap liar di jalan raya dengan Lamborghini sewaan warna kuning, kata polisi.
Dua mobil SUV memblokir jalan raya, sehingga pelantun tembang "Boyfriend" berusia 19 tahun itu bisa balapan dengan temannya, yang mengemudikan Ferrari merah sewaan, kata jurubicara polisi Pantai Miami, Vivian Hernandez.
Bieber juga didakwa menolak penahanan tanpa kekerasan serta mengemudi dengan surat izin mengemudi keluaran Georgia yang sudah habis masa berlakunya, kata Hernandez, seperti dilansir Yahoo News.
Teman Bieber, yang juga seorang penyanyi, Khalil Sharieff, ditahan atas tuduhan mengemudi di bawah pengaruh alkohol, kata jurubicara tersebut.
Ia mengatakan Bieber sepertinya akan diizinkan mengajukan jaminan setelah ia dipindahkan ke penjara yang lain.
Kepolisian kota Opa-locka, Florida menyatakan tengah menyelidiki tindakan petugas yang memberi pengawalan tak resmi kepada Bieber dan rombongannya melewati lalu lintas setelah mereka mendarat di bandara setempat.
Tingkah Bieber di luar panggung seringkali membayangi karir musiknya sepanjang tahun lalu saat bintang asal Kanada yang melejit di usia 15 tahun itu beranjak dewasa.
Awal bulan ini, detektif di California menyerbu rumah Bieber setelah ia dituduh melempar rumah tetangganya dengan telur.
Miami Beach - Teen pop star Justin Bieber was arrested in South Florida early on Thursday on a drunken driving charge after he was caught drag racing on a main thoroughfare in a rented yellow Lamborghini, police said.
Two SUVs had blocked the road so the 19-year-old "Boyfriend" singer could race a friend who was driving the rented red sports car, Miami Beach police spokeswoman Vivian Hernandez said.
Bieber, who was driving 55 to 60 miles per hour (88 to 96 km per hour) in a 30-mile-per-hour zone, was also charged with resisting arrest without violence and driving on an expired Georgia license.
His friend, identified as R&B singer Khalil Sharieff, was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence, Hernandez said.
He confirmed the city also was looking into whether officers escorted Bieber to the King of Diamonds strip club in Miami Gardens.
The police department in the Florida city of Opa-locka is investigating whether two of its officers gave Bieber an unauthorized escort on Monday night after his private jet landed at the local airport, said city spokesman David Chiverton.
Bieber's erratic behavior has at times overshadowed his music career in the last year as the singer who shot to fame at age 15 transitions to adulthood.
In his latest off-stage incident to grab headlines, Bieber initially resisted arrest, cursed at police officers and later told them he had consumed alcohol, pot and prescription drugs, police said.
