Justin Bieber and his father
allegedly refused a pilot's warning to stop smoking pot during a flight from
Canada to New Jersey on Friday, according to a law enforcement source.
A law enforcement official gave
details to CNN about what the flight crew on the chartered jet told federal
officials after they ferried Bieber and his entourage from Canada to New
Jersey's Teterboro Airport. The official asked not to be identified.
Marijuana smoke was so strong in the
jet's cabin that flight crew members put on oxygen masks because they were
concerned they might inhale so much it would cause them to test positive for
drug use, said the source.
The pilots repeatedly asked the pop
star, his father, Jeremy Bieber, and other passengers to put away marijuana
during the flight, according to the source. The pilot said the singer and his
father were verbally abusive to the flight crew. This prompted the pilot to have
the flight attendant stay close to the cockpit to avoid contact with Bieber as
much as possible, the source said.
Bieber and his entourage of 10 were
granted re-entry into the United States after a search of the chartered plane
by federal officials, who said they detected an odor of marijuana after it
landed at Teterboro Airport, a law enforcement official told CNN.
A number of federal agents from
Customs and Border Protection, the Drug Enforcement Administration and
Immigration and Customs Enforcement said they detected the odor, which prompted
the search by drug-sniffing dogs, the source said.
No sign of drugs were detected and
no illegal substances were found, a law enforcement source told CNN last week.
Bieber, a Canadian citizen living in
the United States on a work visa, was detained by border agents for several
hours of questioning. The interview is routinely conducted to ensure people
entering the country are in compliance with U.S. law, another law enforcement
source said.
A Customs and Border Protection
spokesman declined comment, citing privacy requirements involving the
questioning of people applying to enter the United States.
Bieber rep Matthew Hiltzik declined
comment to CNN.
Bieber, 19, was arrested last week
in Toronto, accused of assaulting his limousine driver in December.
He also faces charges of drunken driving,
resisting arrest and driving on an expired license after being stopped by
police in Miami Beach, Florida, last month.
The Los Angeles County district
attorney is considering whether to charge Bieber with felony vandalism in the
egging of his neighbor's house on January 9, 2014.
