Justin Bieber today appeared in court by video link after he was arrested for drunk driving and resisting arrest while allegedly drag racing in Miami early this morning.
The 19-year-old singer fidgeted as he heard his bail set at $2,500 and he is expected to be released later today.
Police arrested the popstar as he drove a bright yellow Lamborghini at up to 60mph in a 30mph speed limit zone while allegedly racing Def Jam rapper Khalil Sharief who was driving a Ferrari.
He had spent a night partying with model Chantael Jeffries and allegedly admitted to officers that he had been smoking marijuana 'all day', taking anti-depressants and drinking beer when he was stopped at 4am.
The troubled singer who has had a number of brushes with the law - LA police raided his mansion earlier this month after a neighbor's house was attacked with eggs - allegedly asked the arresting officers 'Why the f*** did you stop me' this morning.
And although the singer appeared stoic as he appeared in court, he allegedly broke down in tears when he returned to his cell, according to People.
Mail Online has also learned that Bieber’s father Jeremy was among the star’s entourage as he raced along Miami Beach.

Meeting the judge: Justin Bieber faced a judge via video on Thursday afternoon in Miami, Florida following his DUI and drag racing arrest hours earlier
The singer has been charged with drunken driving, resisting arrest and driving without a licence.
Hours after the arrest, Police Chief Raymond Martinez confirmed that the performer used the F word repeatedly after being stopped and kept putting his hands in his pocket.
The star is accused of confronting police when they stopped him, asking the officer: 'What the f*** did I do? Why did you stop me? I ain't got no f***ing weapons. Why do you have to search me? What the f*** is this about?'
Justin, who was in handcuffs as he was escorted to a county jail, looked depressed as he stood before the judge this afternoon.
With his hair still coiffed into a slick Elvis Presley-style up-wave from the night before, but devoid of the gold earrings and chains he wore during his arrest, Justin appeared to already be hungover.
He moved his head from side to side and seemed to chew the inside of his cheek as he listened to the judge's remarks.

'Those close to Justin are extremely interested in him going to rehab,' a source told MailOnline.
'He needs to be treated for behavioral issues and a recreational use of drugs. But he has so far been vehemently opposed to going.'
According to the police report, Justin used the F word repeatedly after being pulled over for drag racing.
'Why did you stop me?' said the singer. The officer noted he stopped him because he was drag racing, and in his report, noted Bieber had 'bloodshot eyes.'
After the officer asked the Believe star to step out of the car, he said, 'Why the f*** are you doing this?'

Justin got out of his car, but kept putting his hands in his pocket, according to a detailed description from the arresting officer in his police report.

When the Canada native turned to face the officer, he said, 'I ain't got no f****ing weapons, why do you have to search me? What the f*** is this about?'
Bieber was again told to put his hands on his car. But when the Love Me singer faced the officer for a second time, the policeman 'grabbed his right hand and stated to him that he was under arrest.'
Bieber then 'began to resist me by pulling his right arm away as he stated: "What the f*** are you doing?"' according to the officer.
That is when another officer was called for assistance and the musician was placed into custody.
