Justin Bieber Confessed to Drug and Alcohol Use Before 2014 DUI Arrest
Pop star Justin Bieber reportedly told police in 2014 that he had been drinking, using marijuana, and taking prescription medications shortly before being pulled over and arrested for driving under the influence in Miami.
At the time of the incident, Bieber was just 19 years old and already one of the most famous artists in the world. Toxicology tests conducted after the arrest confirmed the presence of both marijuana and the anti-anxiety drug Xanax in his system.
The admission came during questioning following his arrest, which drew widespread media coverage and marked a turbulent period in the young singer’s career. The incident led to public scrutiny, legal consequences, and eventually a broader conversation about the pressures of fame at a young age.
Bieber has since spoken out in interviews about his struggles during that time and has worked to turn his life around in the years since.
