Bieber bailed out as gal pal details emerge
A bratty and “belligerent” Justin Bieber was caught drag-racing in a quarter-million-dollar sports cars with a buddy while high on drugs and alcohol, cops said.
But before the 19-year-old bad-boy wannabe could be taken to Miami-Dade County jail to face the music Thursday, he serenaded the Miami Beach police with F-bombs and boasted that he drank beer, smoked pot and popped prescription pills before he got behind the wheel.
The humiliating arrest did little to humble him — he hammed it up for his mug shot and later jumped atop his entourage’s SUV to greet fans.
He has been charged with driving under the influence of drugs, resisting arrest and driving without a valid license.
Cops pulled him over in a quiet, residential Miami neighborhood — near Pine Tree Drive and West 26th a little after 4 a.m.
He was driving a borrowed yellow 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 550-2 Spyder — with young model Chantel Jefferies in the passenger seat.
R&B artist “Crazy Khalil” Amir Sharieff was racing him in a loaner 2009 red Ferrari 16M.
Sharieff was also arrested.
The celeb’s crew, which included Bieber’s father, had blocked off traffic to create a drag strip, police said.
Cops said Bieber reeked of booze.
“At first he was a little belligerent . . . using some choice words, questioning why he had been stopped,” Miami Beach Police Chief Raymond Martinez said.
“Why did you stop me?” Bieber said. “Why the f- -k are you doing this?”
When an officer asked Bieber to place his hands on his car’s rooftop for a patdown, he flipped out, according to cops.
“What the f- -k did I do? Why did you stop me. I ain’t got no f- -king weapons, why do you have to search me? What the f- -k is this about?”
Bieber again refused to comply and cops said they had no choice but to arrest him.
“I grabbed his right hand and stated to him that he was under arrest,” Police Officer Fulgencio Medina wrote in a police report.
“The driver began to resist me by pulling his right arm away as he stated, ‘What the f- -k are you doing?’ ”
He later admitted to drinking beer, smoking pot and popping anti-depressant medication, police said.
Before the joy ride, Bieber posted a picture of himself and Sharieff and the two sports cars to Instagram, thanking the rental agency for the free loaners.
“Thanks to @loulavie and @internationalc for the whips,” a caption read.
The picture has since been deleted.
The Lamborghini and Ferrari were loaned — at no charge — by Lou la Vie rentals to a “mutual friend” of Bieber’s, the company’s president, John Temerian, told The Post.
Normally, each of the cars would rent for between $1,500 and $1,700 a day.
That Lamborghini could reach speeds of 198 mph. Cops said Bieber was going 60 mph in the 30 mph zone.
“That car, in first gear, could do 60,” Temerian said.
Both cars were returned to the agency without a scratch.
“I was more worried about the towing from the Miami Beach police” than Bieber and his pal’s driving damaging the cars, Temerian joked.
Before the dangerous drag race, Bieber whooped it up at the Set nightclub in Miami at a VIP table in the corner ordering Red Bulls with his friends, sources told Page Six.
“He took his shirt off and was sitting there shirtless” before leaving with Chantel, a dead ringer for Kim Kardashian.
Bieber’s high-rolling celebrity defense lawyer, Roy Black, said the matter would “hopefully [proceed] as any other case would,” despite the pop star’s celebrity.
For much of Thursday, the hashtag #DeportBieber trended on Twitter.
The Canadian citizen Bieber is in the United States on an O-1 work visa that’s geared for people with “extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business or athletics.”
Bieber is still being investigated in Southern California for an egg-throwing attack on a neighbor’s house that caused $20,000 damage.
The Grammy-nominated artist has also made news when he claimed to be quitting the music biz.
He freaked out his “Beliebers” – as his fans are called – with a tweet in December claiming he was “officially retiring.”
A source told E! News at the time the claim was baloney.
