Justin Bieber arrested for driving under the influence and drag racing in Miami Beach

Justin Bieber, 19, has been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) and drag racing.

The Boyfriend hitmaker was arrested on Thursday in Miami Beach, Florida, after driving a rented Lamborghini, police sources told NBC 6 South Florida.

The Miami Herald have reported Bieber and his friends used their cars to block traffic on Pine Tree Drive at 26th Street, a residential area, at 4:30 a.m., creating a drag strip for the young star, who was in a Lamborghini.

Police Chief Raymond Martinez told the paper: 'Test showed that Bieber was under the influence of drugs.'

The paper also reported that the singer was 'incoherent, had his hands in his pockets and resisted arrest without violence'.

The star was seen driving away from a club with a pretty model, who is reportedly Chantel Jeffries. 

He posted a photograph on Instagram after a visit to a skate shop in Miami and has been spending time with friends.

Meanwhile, Justin - who reportedly spent $75,000 at a strip club over the weekend - had his home in Calabasas, California, searched by police last week after he was accused of a vicious egg attack on his neighbour.

Detectives reportedly raided the 19-year-old star's mansion and one person was arrested on suspicion of drug possession.

In July last year, marijuana and drug paraphernalia was also seized from one of the the singer’s tour buses although Justin was not on the bus at the time.

Miami Beach Police have tweeted: '#BreakingNews confirming @justinbieber has been arrested for DUI & Drag Racing more info & press release coming.'

NBC in South Florida have reported the singer was stopped 'early on Thursday morning while driving a rented Lamborghini.'
