Justin Bieber Arrested on Drunken Driving Charges

Just when we thought J Biebs couldn’t make any bigger headlines, his latest misdemeanor has taken him to the big house.

Trouble-making pop star Justin Bieber was charged with drunken driving, resisting arrest and driving without a valid license after he was caught drag racing on Thursday morning in Miami Beach. When he was caught, Bieber was driving his yellow Lamborghini in a race against a red Ferrari in a residential area, going 55 to 60 miles per hour in a 30 mile per hour zone.

According to Miami Beach Police Chief Rayond Martinez, Justin “made some statements that he had consumed some alcohol, and that he has been smoking marijuana and consumed some prescription medication.”


After a failed sobriety test, Justin was booked into a Miami jail. His racing partner, aspiring musician Khalil Amir Sharieff, was also arrested on a drunken driving charge. 

Could this be the end of the Biebs, or do you still “Beliebe” he can redeem his career? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
