Justin Bieber given trial date


Justin Bieber is to appear in court next month.

The 19-year-old singer has been given a trial date of March 3 by a Miami-Dade County judge over charges of driving under the influence (DUI), resisting arrest and driving with an invalid license.

The troubled star was detained on January 23 after police allegedly caught him drag racing a rented Lamborghini in Miami.

Police officers claimed Justin, who is more than a year under the legal drinking age in the US, reeked of alcohol at the scene but his blood alcohol level was barely measurable at .014.

However, it has been reported a toxicology test detected the presence of marijuana and Xanax in his system.

Justin’s lawyer Roy Black has already filed a written plea of not guilty.

Meanwhile, just last week Justin was also charged with allegedly assaulting a limousine driver last year while leaving a basketball game in Toronto.

Justin could also potentially face felony charges in Los Angeles after an incident in January where one of his neighbours’ homes was egged, causing $20,000 of damage.

Officers for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department said they will soon be submitting evidence to the District Attorney, who will then decide whether to press charges.
