Police charge Justin Bieber with assault

A girl screamed “I love you, Justin, I love you!” as dozens of cameras flashed to light up the night.

The singer has also gotten in trouble with the authorities in Australia and Brazil for spraying graffiti. In Brazil, Bieber was photographed emerging under a blanket from a notorious Rio brothel and later tried in vain to bring prostitutes into the posh Copacabana Palace.

Bieber said he was not guilty of the charges filed against him in Florida last week – including drunk driving, resisting arrest and driving with an expired license.

In a filing by the pop star’s attorneys to a Miami court, Bieber formally rejected the charges.

The White House, meanwhile, was asked to weigh in on Bieber’s bad behaviour after it received a petition with more than 100,000 signatures calling for the Canadian-born signer to be deported.

By 9pm Wednesday (0200 GMT Thursday), a petition on the White House website calling for the deportation of the Canadian teen idol had garnered more than 155,300 names – easily surpassing the threshold of 100,000 signatures required for presidential consideration.

“We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture,” says the petition, created by one “J.A.” in Detroit the day Bieber was busted in Miami Beach.

“We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive and drug-abusing Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked. He is not only threatening the safety of our people but he is also a terrible influence on our nation’s youth. We the people would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society.”

Bieber is understood to be living and working in the United States under a renewable O-1 visa for entertainers, rather than a green card for permanent resident status.

It remains unclear whether Bieber’s visa to stay in the United States would be affected by his legal issues.
