Justin Bieber Claimed Foot Fracture Reason For Shaky Sobriety Test After DUI Arrest

Justin Bieber claimed his shaky sobriety test taken after his January arrest for suspected DUI in Miami Beach was because of a hairline fracture in his right foot.

Miami Beach Police Department documents released Tuesday reveal the then 19-year-old told the observing officer he injured his foot skateboarding three months earlier.

According to The Associated Press, the officer noticed leg tremors in Bieber’s movements during the sobriety test at the station.

In a police released video, the pop star was seen wobbling as he attempted to walk the line and appeared to stumble at one point.

Initial reports that the singer was drunk at the time of his arrest for were not supported by two Breathalyzer tests which showed Bieber’s blood alcohol concentration was 0.011 and 0.011. Both values are below Florida’s 0.02 legal limit for drivers under 21— although he is underage.

However, a toxicology report based on a urine sample taken from the singer revealed Bieber tested positive for marijuana and the anti-anxiety drug Xanax in his system at the time of his arrest.

In the same report Bieber is quoted as saying he was not drag racing before he stopped in a rented yellow Lamborghini along with co-arrestee, R&B singer Khalil Amir Sharieff driving a red Ferrari, on a residential Miami Beach on January 23.

TMZ reports the new documents state Bieber told the arresting officer, “I’m 19 years old. I’m just out having a good time.”

The officer replied that he was not driving around in a Lamborghini at the same age.

“Yeah, well, I bet you didn’t have millions of dollars in your bank account either,” Bieber was quoted saying in reply.

The celebrity gossip site adds the officer told Bieber he seemed to be having trouble driving the Lamborghini.

To which the singer allegedly responded with, “What? I’ve been driving a Lamborghini since I was 15.”

The reports states Bieber told officers that black Cadillac Escalade SUVs following the two sports cars were carrying security crew and that the group were trying to avoid paparazzi allegedly following them.

The document also mentions the singer’s numerous tattoos and he mentioned fishing for pike in Canada with his grandfather.

Justin also mentioned taking an anti-anxiety medication whenever he feels “closed in,” according to the report.

The site previously reported GPS tracking in the exotic cars showed they were traveling at 27 mph when police spotted them, despite statements from one of the arresting officers that the cars were going at approximately 55-60 mph.

The other arresting officer claimed Bieber smelled of alcohol despite his low blood alcohol content.

On January 29, Bieber pleaded not guilty in writing (through a lawyer) to charges of driving under the influence, resisting arrest without violence and driving with an expired license.

Bieber and his Miami legal team led by famed criminal defense attorney, Roy Black, are now preparing for a trial which has been set for May 5.

The Miami Herald previously reported Miami-Dade prosecutor Daniel Diaz-Balart confirmed in a status hearing (March 11) to presiding Judge William Altfield that no plea deal has been to the Canadian singer.

Black told media outlets, “The state has not offered any plea deal. The judge asked in court yesterday if an offer had been extended and the prosecutor said no. All I can say is that the case is set for trial and we are preparing for it.”

Overall, there seem to be strengths and weaknesses in both the prosecution and defense’s cases which will make Bieber’s trial a draw, as if fuel were needed.

Bieber is currently in Canada having sold his $ 6.5 million mansion in Calabasas, California, and was photographed leaving a Toronto-area recording studio Tuesday morning to waiting female fans.
