Justin Bieber, 19, has been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) and drag racing.

The Boyfriend hitmaker was arrested on Thursday in Miami Beach, Florida, after driving a rented Lamborghini, police sources told NBC 6 South Florida.

The Miami Herald have reported Bieber and his friends used their cars to block traffic on Pine Tree Drive at 26th Street, a residential area, at 4:30 a.m., creating a drag strip for the young star, who was in a yellow Lamborghini.

Hours after the arrest, Police Chief Raymond Martinez confirmed in a press conference outside the Miami Police station that Justin will face charges of DUI, driving with an expired license out of the state of Georgia and resisting arrest without violence.

It was revealed the performer was going 'up to 55 to 60 mph' in a residential neighborhood where the limit is 30 mph.

On paper: The Canadian's report cited he resisted arrest for a DUI without violence at 4:11 am and had an expired driver's license

'The officer smelled a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Mr Bieber's car,' Martinez said.

'He used some choice words about why he was stopped or why I was even questioning him.'

The officer also noted Justin was 'a little belligerent.'

According to the police report, the former YouTube sensation used the F word repeatedly.

'Why did you stop me?' said the singer. The officer noted he stopped him because he was drag racing, and in his report, noted Bieber had 'bloodshot eyes.'

After the officer asked the Believe star to step out of the car, he said, 'Why the f*** are you doing this?'

Justin got out of his car, but kept putting his hands in his pocket. The officer stated in his report he asked the teen to then put his hands on the vehicle. That's when the singer said, 'What the f*** did I do, why did you stop me?'

When the Canada native turned to fake the officer, he said, 'I ain't got no f****ing weapons, why do you have to search me? What the f*** is this about?'

In a tweet, Miami Beach police confirmed the star is being transferred to Miami Dade County Corrections.

Martinez told the paper: 'Tests showed that Bieber was under the influence of drugs.'

The paper also reported that the singer was 'incoherent, had his hands in his pockets and resisted arrest without violence'.

  

He added: 'He also did not have a valid license.'

Police have confirmed Bieber had been drinking beer, was under the influence of anti-depressants and had been smoking marijuana.

The singer's friend rapper Khalil Sharief has also been arrested and was seen driving Justin's red Ferrari.

The star was seen driving away from a club in Miami with a pretty model, who is reportedly Chantel Jeffries. 

The 19-year-old model has dated a string of stars including P. Diddy's son, American footballer DeSean Jackson and Bieber's friend Lil Twist.
