14 DAY TRIAL // It's beginning to be an everyday occurrence for teen pop star Justin Bieber to get into trouble with police. This time, it's been reported that the 19-year-old was detained at the Brisbane Airport in Australia, when customs agents found marijuana on one of his friends.
The 23-year-old suspect from the pop star's entourage is said to have been released and issued a ticket for charges of importing drugs into the country.
TMZ has the scoop that Justin Bieber's friend tried to pass airport security with a disposable vaporizer that had marijuana residue in it. A fine was given and a lawyer appeared in court on behalf of the guilty party to pay it.
But this isn't the end of the matter. The same sources say that Justin was very upset at this turn of events and became very uncooperative, throwing profanities at the airport employees repeatedly.
The AFP (Australian Federal Police) have warned Justin for using “inappropriate language.” People present at the scene claim that he even insulted a female airport employee by referring to her by a certain part of the female anatomy.
This isn't Justin's first run-in with police over drug-related charges. In April this year, there was an issue with Swedish police when they raided his tour bus and found a small amount of what seemed to be marijuana. The same thing happened again in July at the US – Canadian border. At the time, only the bus driver was cited and the bus and the passengers allowed to pass through the checkpoint.
Justin Bieber's visit to Australia is related to his current tour, which has been plagued by controversies in the “Land Down Under.”
Apart from showing up late at his own concerts, he earned a reprobation from the mayor of the Gold Coast for spray-painting a wall at the hotel where he was staying, without being aware that Queensland has some of the most severe anti-graffiti laws in the country.
