A police officer is being investigated for trying to take a picture of Justin Bieber in custody
A police officer is under investigation for attempting to take a photograph of Justin Bieber while he was in custody on driving under the influence and other charges.
Miami Beach police Sgt. Bobby Hernandez has confirmed that a female officer is being investigated for possible conduct unbecoming an officer. Punishments can range from a verbal reprimand to sacking.
The officer’s name wasn’t released.
Bieber was arrested on January 23 during what police describe as an illegal street drag race. In addition to driving under the influence, the 19-year-old pop singer was charged with resisting arrest and having an invalid driving license.
He has pleaded not guilty.
Police said the officer attempted to photograph Bieber while he was in a temporary holding cell, and a higher-ranking officer intervened to stop the attempt.
