Justin Bieber has been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) and drag racing.
The "Boyfriend" hitmaker was arrested earlier today in Miami Beach, Florida, after driving a rented Lamborghini, police sources told NBC 6 South Florida. There are no further details about the arrest at this stage but Justin is believed to be in police custody and a police statement is due this afternoon.
According to TMZ, Justin had just left a club and had a model in the passenger seat when he started racing a man in a red Lamborghini, who was also arrested. Justin has visited a number of place in the town this week and yesterday posted a photograph on Instagram of him at a skate park with friends.
Meanwhile, Justin - who reportedly spent $75,000 at a strip club over the weekend - had his home in Calabasas, California, searched by police last week after he was accused of a vicious egg attack on his neighbor. Justin's mother Pattie Mallette urged fans to pray for her son this week and insisted fame was to blame for his behavioral issues and wild antics: "I think so many people go into the entertainment industry with amazing Christian roots and they go in with the right morals and they get influenced somehow. I ask that people keep me and Justin in their minds. I pray for him every day."

UPDATE: Hulk Hogan’s Son Sentenced to Jail
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Legal Issues, Videos, Breaking News,
After injuring his friend in a car crash last year, Nick Bollea pleaded no contest today to felony reckless driving. The 17-year-old was then ordered to serve 8 months in jail. That sentence nearly equals the amount of time since the crash.
At the time of the incident, witnesses reported seeing Bollea drag racing against a friend. His speeds were apparently in the neighborhood of 100 miles per hour. Although Nick was quickly discharged from the hospital, the other occupant of his car was initially listed in critical condition. That friend, John Graziano, will now require lifetime medical care.
Nick’s father, wrestler Hulk Hogan, spoke on behalf of his son - and his injured friend - to the sentencing judge. (You can see that video after the jump.) After speaking about his personal relationship with Graziano, Hulk said his son should not be given any preferential treatment. He also said Bollea should not become a convicted felon. He hoped the judge not to give up on his son.
