Singer Justin Bieber has been arrested for drag racing and DUI in Miami Beach, police told NBC News.
Bieber was under the influence of drugs and was incoherent but compliant when arrested at 4:30 a.m. on Thursday, Miami Beach Police Chief Raymond Martinez told the Miami Herald.
Police sources told NBC that the 19-year-old was in a rented Lamborghini. His entourage reportedly used their cars to block traffic in a residential area to create a drag strip.
Bieber has been in town the past few days and was reportedly visiting a club downtown on Wednesday night.
On Wednesday, police were investigating an unauthorized police escort of Bieber.
