Justin Bieber appears in court charged with driving under the influence, resisting arrest without violence and driving on an expired Georgia licence, before he is released on bail
Teen pop star Justin Bieber's tumultuous life off-stage landed him in prison
for the first time on Thursday when police arrested
the singer for drunk driving after he was caught drag racing on a
main Miami Beach street in a rented Lamborghini.
The 19-year-old Canadian initially resisted arrest, cursed at police officers
and later told them he had consumed alcohol, pot and prescription drugs,
police said. Then, changing his demeanor, he grew cooperative and even
smiled for his mug shot, coiffed hair perfectly in place.
Dressed in a red prison suit, a silent Bieber heard the charges via video
link: driving under the influence, resisting arrest without violence and
driving on an expired Georgia license.
A judge set bail at $2,500 and released the singer.
Bieber's arrest is his most serious run-in with the law during a year in which
his problems have ranged from allegations of speeding through his gated
community near Los Angeles to a police investigation into whether he pelted
a neighbor's house with eggs.
