Justin Bieber Admits to Alcohol & Drug Use Prior to DUI Arrest

New details are emerging about Justin Bieber‘s arrest on Thursday morning (January 23) in Miami, Fla.

According to Miami Beach Police Chief Raymond Martinez (via CNN), the 19-year-old singer admitted to using marijuana, drinking beer, and taking prescription anti-depressants before getting behind the wheel of his rented Lamborghini.

He was pulled over at 4:11 a.m. after cops witnessed him in a drag race with another car driven by his friend Khalil Sharief.

Justin rolled down his window and the officer smelled alcohol, so he asked him to step out of the car. He reportedly kept going into his pants pocket and turning around to face the officer instead of keeping his hands on the vehicle.

“At first, he was a little belligerent, using some choice words questioning why he was being stopped and why the officer was even questioning him,” Martinez said.

Justin was racing upwards of 55 mph in a 30 mph residential zone. He was escorted to Miami-Dade Jail to be fingerprinted and have a mugshot taken.

UPDATE: Justin‘s mugshot has been released.
