NBC in South Florida reports that the singer was stopped early on Thursday morning while driving a rented Lamborghini.
The 19-year-old is understood to still be in custody and a police statement is due imminently.
He will be transferred from the police station to the Turner Guilford
Knight Correctional Center where he will be able to receive bail.
The teenager has been in Florida for the past few days and has been spotted in nightclubs and at a skate park.
He posted photos on his Instagram of him performing tricks on his skateboard and spraying his initials onto a wall at the park.
Bieber’s arrest comes just a week after the singer’s California home
was raided by police over claims he pelted his neighbour’s house with
eggs, causing thousands of dollars of damage.
In that case, authorities arrested one member of Bieber’s entourage on suspicion of drug possession.
