Justin Bieber To Be Arraigned On Valentine's Day For D.U.I. Charges

Justin Bieber's legal team will face Miami-Dade Judge William Altfield in the County Criminal Division on February 14 on charges of DUI, resisting arrest and driving with an expired license. Happy Valentine's Day!
However, "Justin doesn't have to be there," Ed Griffith, a Miami state attorney's office spokesman, said in a statement. "He will plead [not] guilty and the process will begin." Bieber is represented by Roy Black, who has yet to comment on his client's case.
Bieber was arrested for driving under the influence last Thursday when Miami Beach police busted him for speeding on a residential street just after 4am. Bieber admitted to police that he had been drinking, smoking pot and taking prescription medication.
Bieber is currently in Panama with current flame Chantel Jeffries and his entourage, and though his manager Scooter Braun and mentor Usher have attempted to get him back to the states and in a rehab facility, the 19-year-old pop star has yet to agree to seek treatment. Braun and Usher flew to Panama a few days ago, and on Monday Bieber was reportedly shooting footage for a new music video on the beach.
