Following his arrest, Justin Bieber appeared in court via video link in front of Judge Joseph P Farina, where bail of $2,500 was set.
The singer has since posted bail and left Turner Guilford Knight jail. Read the full updated story here.
Original story: Justin Bieber has been arrested in Miami Beach on suspicion of driving under the influence, resisting arrest and drag racing.
The 19-year-old was apprehended at around 4am on Thursday morning (January 23) at Pine Tree Drive and 26th Street. He was driving a yellow Lamborghini, and the driver of a second car, a red Ferrari, was also arrested. Both vehicles have since been impounded.
The second person arrested has been named as R&B singer Khalil Sharief, who had earlier posted an image of Bieber in a yellow Lamborghini on Instagram.
Bieber was taken to Miami Beach police station to Turner Guilford Knight jail for processing later on Thursday morning, where he has been booked for resisting arrest without violence, driving under the influence and driving with an expired licence.
A search of the Miami-Dade County Corrections and Rehabilitation Department's official website quotes bail at $2,500 (£1,503).
"It was a cold night, and it was quiet, so the officers could hear the cars," Miami Beach police chief Raymond Martinez told the Miami Herald: "When the cars are going that fast, it takes a while to catch up."
Bieber told officers that he had a beer, was under the influence of anti-depressants and had been smoking marijuana all day, according to police sources.
It has also been claimed that the musician's entourage used vehicles to block off a section of the road.
Police spokesman Sergeant Bobby Hernandez had earlier told local reporters that the teenage popstar "showed symptoms of someone under the influence of drugs or alcohol".
Sgt Hernandez added: "He was pulled over and failed a field sobriety test. He was then taken to the police station to be offered a breathalyser."
Bieber's arrest comes a week after Bieber's home in California was searched by police following reports of an egg-throwing incident.
His friend Lil Za was taken into custody on suspicion of narcotics possession, but was subsequently released.
Bieber's mother Pattie Mallette was recently quoted as saying that she prays for him every day, adding: "If Justin's struggling, don't kick him when he's down or condemn him."
The singer made headlines on Christmas Day when he appeared to suggest he would be retiring from the music industry.
However, he was photographed on New Year's Day at a Toronto recording studio, and producer Douglas Romanow claimed that he had been working with Bieber on new material.
