Sports Stars Weigh In On Justin Bieber Arrest

January 23, 2014

Well as you know by now, Justin Bieber was arrested in Miami around 4 a.m. Thursday morning. The news — along with his mugshot — almost broke the internet.

For a quick recap, Biebs was charged with a DUI, resisting arrest and driving without a license after being caught drag racing in Miami Beach, according to police. The police report also adds the following gems, as per the Biebs to the police: “What the f*** did I do? Why did you stop me?

Keyshawn Johnson is a neighbor to Beiber and has reportedly reached out to him to try to play a type of mentor. The efforts have failed. Now Johnson is openly expressing his opinion on Bieber’s arrest — all of this coming a week after Bieber was already detained for throwing eggs at another neighbor’s home in their neighborhood in Calabasas, Calif.

The scary part is grown adults who are w/ him aren’t protecting him from himself! All looking for a quick buck. Learning experience for all

They finally caught HIM! Glad no one was hurt, no kids in the street. Everyone grows up at some point. Hopefully he learns from it.

Hall-of-Famer Eric Dickerson, who’s tweet has since been deleted from the looks of it:

UFC President Dana White (via MMA Junkie) was a little more empathetic:

“Imagine if you had a zillion dollars when you were 19,” he told a small group of reporters ahead of Saturday’s UFC on FOX 10, which takes place at Chicago’s United Center. “I’d be dead already.”…

…“It’s got to be hard to keep it together, especially if you don’t have the right people around you,” White said.

And of course the “Anchor Man” himself
