Cops who escorted Justin Bieber to strip club suspended

Three Florida police officers have been suspended after allegedly giving Justin Bieber an unauthorised escort from an airport to a strip club earlier this week (begs20Jan14).

Opa-locka Assistant City Manager David Chiverton has confirmed reports suggesting the cops have been put on leave with pay, pending the outcome of an investigation into their actions.

Chiverton has no idea how the police escort was arranged.

The Baby hitmaker's trip to Florida has been marred by controversy - on Thursday (23Jan14), he was arrested and booked on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI), resisting arrest without violence and driving with an expired driver's license after cops in Miami Beach caught him drag racing with R&B singer Khalil Sharief, who was also arrested.
