Justin Bieber was arrested in the early hours this morning when he was caught drag racing with friends in Miami Beach. The pop star was seen driving a yellow Lamborghini and showing “signs of impairment”. When officers stopped Bieber, he was given a field sobriety test and failed. 19 year old Bieber and the person with whom he was drag racing were both arrested on DUI charges. This is the first time that Bieber has been arrested.
Downward Spiral of a Star
This culminates a downward spiral that has been ongoing for several years. The pop star has been in numerous altercations, particularly with neighbors in his Calabasas, California community. There have been many complaints since the pop star moved into the Oaks community, as he has thrown wild parties and been accused of racing down the streets in various sports cars. Bieber was even accused of throwing eggs at his neighbor’s house and causing an estimated $20,000 in damage. A search warrant was obtained after the incident, and Beiber’s house was searched. Police also confiscated security videos in order to determine whether the pop singer was involved in the incident, as the neighbor claimed. Charges have yet to be filed for the vandalism.
Bad Boy Image
Bieber seems to be doing what he can to show the world that he is not the pretty boy that he started out as. In the same line as Miley Cyrus showing skin, Bieber seems to be trying to break away from the mold that he was cast in. However, most would agree that he is going about it all wrong. Instead of coming across as a rebel or a bad boy, the image that Bieber is being associated with most is a spoiled brat. What do you think about Bieber’s antics?
