Three Florida police officers have been suspended for giving Justin Bieber an unauthorized escort from a Miami area airport on Monday night, a couple of days before his arrest for drunk driving after he was caught drag racing on Miami Beach.
"Their presence at the airport was unauthorized," said Opa-locka Assistant City Manager David Chiverton on Friday. Police escorts from airports are permitted, but must go through a process, "All escorts must be approved ... whether it was Bieber or anyone else, for that matter," he said.


According to him the officers were suspended without pay pending the results of an investigation that is also looking into where the officers escorted Bieber, including reports that he went to a nearby strip club, the King of Diamonds. (L0L)
