The pop star got a ticket today.
Justin Bieber was zooming around in his silver Fisker Karma
sports car (X17 has photos of the incident) when he was stopped and cited for
driving in a "reckless manner" on the 101 Freeway in Los Angeles this
morning, a California Highway Patrol spokesperson tells the Los Angeles Times.
Bieber was pulled over because he was weaving in and out of
traffic, going more than 65 mph, said CHP Officer Ming Hsu, who could not give
the star's precise speed. TMZ says he was going 80 mph.
KABC reports that Bieber said he was trying to lose
paparazzi, who were on his tail. Officers confirmed to KABC that one vehicle
was chasing another, and police stopped the lead vehicle, which was Bieber's.
Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, tells TMZ that the photogs
didn't give up after the ticketing, and Bieber wound up calling 911. Police
caught up with Bieber and the photogs and told them to back off.
