Justin Bieber was arrested in Miami Beach early Thursday for DUI and told police he had been smoking marijuana and taken prescription medication.
Miami Beach Police confirmed the arrest on Twitter before releasing more details in a press conference. Local media reports said the pop star had just left a club on Lincoln Road when he was pulled over.
“The officer smelled odor of alcoholic beverage,” a spokesman for Miami Beach Police said. “Mr. Bieber at that point was not cooperating with the officer’s instructions. The officer asked him to exit the vehicle. He was questioning why he was being stopped. Ultimately he eventually did exit the vehicle and he would not follow the officer’s instructions. The officer at that time did place Mr. Bieber under arrest for resisting without violence.”
