Arrests

Bieber was taken into custody and transported to the police department where his blood alcohol level was tested. Our law enforcement sources say Justin was given a field sobriety test at the scene ... and failed.

His was then taken to jail where he was booked and processed.

We're told Bieber had just left SET nightclub and was driving a yellow Lamborghini at the time cops spotted him in a residential neighborhood. Our sources say Justin's people actually blocked the street off so Bieber could drag race.

Sources say the person Justin was racing was also arrested. We're told that driver was Khalil, a well-known rapper on Def Jam Records. He was in a red Ferrari.

Justin had a passenger in the car -- Chantel Jeffries -- a model, who's dated multiple celebs including an NFL superstar.

The traffic stop was for drag racing and cops determined he was driving under the influence.

The photo (below) is Chantel -- the model who was in Justin's yellow Lambo -- and Justin. The pic was NOT taken at the time of the arrest.

Young Jeezy was hauled off to jail by cops who treated him like crap just because he's a rapper ... according to sources close to Jeezy.

We broke the story ... Jeezy was arrested when Alpharetta police responded to a panic alarm last night at his girlfriend's house. But our sources dispute the official police report -- that cops didn't know who he was because he refused to identify himself.

We're told ... Jeezy didn't NEED to show ID because the officers recognized HIM instantly, saying "Oh, you're Jeezy the rapper" ... then started "antagonizing" him as soon as they realized who he was.

According to our sources ... Jeezy thinks cops treated him like a criminal from the get-go ... refusing to let him make a phone call ... and forcing him to stand outside while cops searched the home as they went on the hunt for a reason to bust him.

Young Jeezy was hauled off to jail yesterday because cops thought he posed a serious threat when they showed up at his GF's pad ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ obtained Jeezy's mug shot, and the police report -- and according to the docs ... Alpharetta, GA police say they didn't know if someone was dead, injured, or if there was an intruder when they responded to a panic alarm at the woman's home.

So, when they ran into Jeezy ... police viewed him as an unknown threat.

Soulja Boy was arrested in L.A. early this morning ... after cops say he was packin' a LOADED GUN, TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... the 23-year-old rapper was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over in the San Fernando Valley for running a stop sign early Wednesday morning.

During the stop, cops say they noticed that Soulja was in possession of a loaded gun -- and arrested him on the spot.

Soulja was hauled to a nearby jail and booked on a felony charge. Bail was set at $35K.

Soulja has a history of run-ins with the law -- he was busted for weed and weapons back in 2011.

Story developing ...

Justin Bieber scoffed at L.A. County Sheriff's deputies who raided his home when they asked for the password to his cell phone ... and now they may have to get ANOTHER search warrant.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... during the raid on Bieber's home, a member of the Sheriff's Department asked the singer if they could take a look at the texts ... to see if he bragged about the egging of his neighbor's home. We're told he immediately shut them down.

Now get this ... It's been a week since the search and the Sheriff's Department has NOT cracked the code. One law enforcement official tells us ... they have no interest in looking at Bieber's unrelated photos or texts. They have some sort of machine that can isolate the time frame around the egging so that the only texts that come up are from that period.

Our sources say the Sheriff's officials now think they may have to get another search warrant -- this time from Bieber's phone carrier -- to get the elusive texts.

Or, they should just call the NSA.

Rapper Young Jeezy was just busted by cops outside Atlanta -- and booked for obstructing police officers ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us Jeezy -- aka Jay Wayne Jenkins -- was arrested in Alpharetta ... after cops responded to an alarm call at his girlfriend's home ... it's unclear who or what triggered the alarm.

When cops arrived on scene ... we're told Jeezy was uncooperative with officers, refusing to identify himself, and cussing them out.

We're told Jeezy told the officer who asked for his name and ID, "F**k you, I ain't telling you" -- and he attempted to pull away when cops were slapping the cuffs on him.

As we reported ... Jeezy was arrested earlier this month for battery, false imprisonment and making terroristic threats after a blowout fight with his son.

He's been booked at Fulton County Jail.

Suge Knight is now a wanted man ... because a judge just issued a bench warrant for his arrest ... and it's pretty ironic, because he was supposed to show up on another warrant that was issued for not showing up.

TMZ broke the story ... Suge was pulled over in September for driving without license plates. When he was pulled over cops realized he had an outstanding warrant for failing to appear in another case. Suge was then arrested, hauled off to jail, released and ordered to appear in court today.

Suge was a no-show, so the judge ordered the deputies to haul his butt into court and set bail at $26K.

And history repeats itself.

Deongelo Holmes -- one half of the rap duo Ying Yang Twins -- was busted in Georgia ... after Holmes' wife accused him of punching her in the head.

Prosecutors say Holmes socked his wife Porsche Holmes in the head back in November ... and the rapper hit her so hard she got a big bump over her left eye.

Authorities charged Holmes with "family violence" and two counts of simple battery. Deongelo was released on bond after agreeing to stay away from his wife -- among other restrictions.

Justin Bieber won't be kicking his buddy Lil Za to the curb after this week's drug arrest ... in fact, Biebs is telling friends they're still as close as brothers -- and Za can stay as long as he wants.

Bieber's people have been urging the singer to bail on Za for months -- and they've turned up the heat up following the raid on his house this week -- but we're told JB won't budge.

Our sources say ... Za has an open pass to stay in Bieber's Calabasas mansion ... and he has no intention of leaving.

If you thought this guy was weird on Wednesday night's "American Idol" premiere, just wait til you get a load of his rap sheet -- and we literally mean load -- the guy was convicted in 2010 after allegedly jerking it in a frozen lemonade truck ... while parked in front of a group of kids.

Sam Atherton had just finished serving frozen lemonade to a group of churchgoers and their kids when he was popped for "open and gross lewdness."

An eyewitness told police he saw Atherton "bobbing his head up and down ... with an intense look on his face" while vigorously moving his arm and shoulder. The witness claims when he approached Atherton to confront him, the guy's pants were around his ankles.

Atherton's excuse was classic ... he said he was just scratching his foot because of a severe fungus.

Atherton was convicted on two counts of lewdness and sentenced to two years probation.

Just when you thought nothing could be worse than his audition.

Lil Za thinks he was arrested during the raid at Justin Bieber's house because he was the only black guy in sight.

Za -- who was arrested for felony drug possession Tuesday -- just tweeted, "Some stuff I've done has been wrong yes. but look at the position I'm in and the color of my skin. Cocaine? Really?"

Truth be told ... cops think it's Molly ... a form of Ecstasy.

It's unclear if Za is saying he was singled out because he's black or that cocaine is a "white guy's" drug.

Vine megastar Curtis Lepore was in court Tuesday ... facing charges of raping Vine star girlfriend Jessi Smiles while she was sleeping, TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... Lepore was arrested in October -- and released on $100,000 bail -- but it flew under the radar. During Tuesday's hearing he pled not guilty.

Here's the back story. We're told Jessi flew to see Curtis in L.A. last August but things didn't go well and they broke up. Jessi stayed in L.A. and a few days later got a concussion while shooting a Vine video.

Sources close to Jessi tell TMZ ... Curtis then called her and offered to help her while she was recovering. The victim claims Curtis came over, Jessi fell asleep and that's when he allegedly raped her

The day after the incident, Jessi tweeted, "Be careful of who you trust. Always be cautious for your safety. Be strong and don't let your guard down..."

It's pretty insane. Curtis and Jessi's relationship was a HUGE deal in the Vine world -- they initially got in touch via the social media platform last summer and subsequently met in person in NYC ... in front of hundreds of their Vine fans.

Curtis' lawyer tells TMZ, "Things are not always as they appear and there are two sides to every story."

BTW ... Jessi gave us permission to use her name.

There must be something in the water in Sherwood, Arkansas -- TMZ has learned, another star from TLC's "Cheer Perfection" reality show has just been arrested ... this time for drug possession.

As we reported, one of the show's moms Andrea Clevenger was just arrested Tuesday morning for allegedly raping a 13-year-old boy.

Now, less than a day later, Cheer Time Revolution co-owner Ronald Dunlap has been arrested for marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to the Sherwood police report, Dunlap and CTR coach Ryan Dahl (who doesn't appear on the show) were popped around 1AM this morning after an officer claims he found them inside Dahl's car, which reeked of pot.

When confronted, the officer claims Dunlap and Dahl 'fessed up to smoking weed and were placed under arrest. The officer claims he also found a glass pipe in the vehicle. Dunlap has since been released. Dahl is still in custody.

Ronald's wife and CTR co-owner Alisha Dunlap is NOT happy either -- she tells us, Ronald and Ryan are both currently suspended from the gym, which has a zero tolerance drug policy.

Seriously, you can't make this stuff up.

Justin Bieber's pal Lil Za pulled a double -- getting arrested for a SECOND TIME Tuesday ... while STILL under arrest, and it's all over a shattered phone ... TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us Za was minutes from posting bail and getting released from custody after getting busted for drug possession at Bieber's house this morning -- and then for some reason he flipped out and smashed a phone in the jailhouse.

We're told Za was almost immediately re-booked for vandalism.

Best of all, depending on the value of the phone ... this could also be a felony -- to go along with his felony drug bust.

Justin Bieber learned a hard (boiled) lesson -- cracking eggs on a neighbor's house ... makes cops scramble ... and gets your friends busted. For drugs.

But if ya love puns ... egg raids can be fun! For everyone but Lil Za.

Police now believe the powdered drug they confiscated at Justin Bieber's house -- allegedly belonging to Lil Za -- may NOT be cocaine ... they think it's probably Molly ... a form of Ecstasy.

Law enforcement sources tell us, they're testing the drug right now and should have results shortly.

In addition to the white stuff, we're told police also found Xanax ... which they believe belonged to Za as well.

If Za was in possession of Molly (MDMA), less is on the line than if it were cocaine.

Cocaine could land him in prison for 3 years, but punishment for MDMA is much less, about 1 year.
