Justin Bieber has been busted! The Miami Beach police department has confirmed that Justin Bieber was arrested early this morning. The 19-year-old pop star was driving under the influence of alcohol and perhaps drugs. Worse than that, Bieber was caught drag racing, driving with an expired license and he resisted arrest.

People have been worried that Bieber has been headed for a breakdown for months. He has been supposedly dabbling in drinking alcohol and sizzurp, and he is in the middle of an investigation over felony vandalism charges for egging a neighbor's house. However, he's been able to dodge actual arrest--until now.

Sources say that after leaving a club, Bieber was seen driving a yellow Lambourgini under the influence in Miami Beach last last night and early this morning. Bieber's people blocked off traffic so that Bieber could drag race on residential streets for fun. His passenger was reportedly model Chantal Jeffries and he was drag racing with Def Jam rapper Khalil, who was also arrested.

When Miami Beach law enforcement pulled him over they discovered that he was driving with an expired license. The underage singer also failed a field sobriety test. When cops asked him to remove his hands from his pockets, Biebs refused, which is where his "resisting arrest" charge comes from.

Bieber's surprising early morning arrest now ranks with the most shocking rock star arrests in music history. Stay tuned for more details.
