MIAMI
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 confirmed Friday that a female officer is
being investigated for possible conduct unbecoming an officer. Punishments can
range from a verbal reprimand to termination. The officer's name wasn't
released.
Bieber
was arrested Jan. 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 driver's license. He
has pleaded not guilty.
Police
say the officer attempted to photograph Bieber while he was in a temporary
holding cell, and a higher-ranking officer intervened to stop the attempt.
