Justin Bieber tested positive for marijuana and the anti-anxiety drug Xanax after his arrest in South Florida, a preliminary toxicology report has revealed. The report released on Thursday did not show any other illicit drugs in the pop star's system.
The 19-year-old singer was arrested last week in Miami Beach on charges of driving under the influence, resisting arrest and having an expired driver's licence. Police said Bieber admitted to smoking marijuana, drinking and taking a prescription medication.
A police report said initial breath tests placed Bieber's blood-alcohol content below the .02 level considered intoxicated for under-21 drivers.
The teen idol's lawyers have filed a written not guilty plea ahead of a Valentine's Day court date.
His February 14 hearing will be followed up less than a month later by a separate legal proceeding in Canada, where Bieber faces an assault charge.
