At around 4 a.m., Justin Bieber was arrested for driving under the influence and drag racing in Miami; according to a Miami Beach spokesman, Bieber “showed symptoms of someone being under the influence of drugs or alcohol” and failed a field sobriety test. TMZ reports that he was also charged with resisting arrest and driving on an expired license. He’s currently in custody, and he’s expected to be booked later this morning.

This has been an exceptionally troubling month for Bieber, who was already in trouble with the law for allegedly causing $20,000 in damages to his neighbor’s house by pelting it with eggs (no one knows how he managed that). When cops raiding his house after the egging, they found what was believed to be cocaine. And, finally, rumors have also come out that the singer is addicted to sizzurp and that his team is urging him to go to rehab.
