Police say Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber has been arrested after drag racing on a Miami Beach street in a yellow Lamborghini and failing a sobriety test.
Miami Dade-Police spokesman Sgt. Bobby Hernandez tells WSVN in South Florida that officers saw two cars racing at 4:09 a.m. ET today.
Hernandez said two vehicles apparently had been used to block off an area for the drag race. He said the second car was a red Ferrari, and that driver was also arrested. Both cars were towed.
He said the 19-year-old pop star failed a field sobriety test and was taken to the Miami Beach police station for a breath test and processing.
Hernandez added that Bieber was to be transported soon to the Miami-Dade County jail.
Last week, detectives had searched Bieber’s home in southern California looking for surveillance footage that might serve as evidence he was involved in an egg-tossing vandalism. (The Associated Press)
