Ride Me

Justin Bieber's new chick is pissed about reports claiming she has a string of arrests in her past ... and has one big regret about hanging with Bieber in Miami and Panama -- it's exposed her life to the world ... warts and all.

Chantel Jeffries -- who was in the Lambo the night Justin was cuffed -- tells TMZ, "I have not been arrested five times as has been stated in the media, nor am I guilty of physically assaulting anyone, in any way shape or form."

A NY newspaper reported 21-year-old Chantel has a lengthy rap sheet, including busts for assault with a deadly weapon (a knife) and reckless driving -- 92 mph in a 70.

Her attorney Matt Morgan tells us ... Chantel was arrested when she was 18 for a misdemeanor assault, but it was ultimately dismissed due to insufficient evidence. Other than that, he says she's only had "traffic violations."

Chantel also denies being thirsty for publicity, saying ... "I am a full time student who had enjoyed a normal lifestyle, free from public scrutiny and criticism, until now.

She adds, "What has happened to me is wrong."

Presumably Chantel means the media attention, and NOT ... joyriding in a Lamborghini, and flying by private jet to a Panamanian resort with an international superstar.

Flavor Flav is begging the judge in his speeding case for mercy ... because if you can't speed to your mom's funeral ... when can you?

Flav says he was late for the funeral earlier this month ... when he was pulled over for driving 79 in a 55 zone. When the cop learned he was driving on a suspended license, Flav was arrested and taken to jail.

The rapper accuses the arresting officer of having no respect for life ... even in the face of death.

Flavor Flav has what he believes is a solid excuse for beating his speeding ticket ... he was racing to his mother's funeral.

Flav -- aka William Drayton -- went to court in NY today for his speeding case ... and yes, he had to remove the clock he wears around his neck before he could go through the metal detectors.

Flav was stopped in Hempstead, NY Jan. 9 for driving 79 in a 55 MPH zone. He told troopers he was on his way to his mom's burial. But officers discovered he had 16 different license suspensions -- all stemming from unpaid tickets. He was arrested ... then released.

Soulja Boy never told police he owned the loaded gun found in his car ... and thinks cops violated his rights by searching him in the first place ... according to Soulja's manager.

TMZ broke the story ... rapper Arab was driving Soulja's car -- with Soulja in the passenger seat -- when they got pulled over for running a stop sign. LAPD officers found a loaded gun in the car ... and arrested Soulja on the spot.

But Soulja's manager, CEO Miami Mike claims a neighbor left the gun under the car seat and Soulja had no idea it was there. Further, he claims Soulja never admitted the weapon was his, and only told cops he owned the car.

Mike claims officers told Soulja someone had to take responsibility for the weapon -- but insists Soulja never copped to the gun ... just the vehicle.

We're told Soulja believes the whole search was illegal because cops didn't have probable cause.

But here's the thing ... according to law enforcement sources the gun was in plain view -- in which case officers wouldn't need a search warrant.

Justin Bieber's blood alcohol level was damn near zero the night of his arrest -- and now TMZ has learned his rapper pal Khalil's BAC actually was ZERO when he got busted in Miami.

Khalil was the guy driving the red Ferrari last week, and got booked for DUI and drag racing -- but TMZ has seen the data from his breathalyzer and the numbers don't lie ... his blood alcohol level came up 0.00 both times he blew for cops.

The goose eggs make sense ... sources close to Khalil tell us the rapper does not drink at all.

It's the latest hole in the case ... coming on the heels of major issues with Bieber's arrest. As TMZ first reported ... the police report said an officer "smelled an odor of alcohol" on JB, but his BAC was actually a minute .014.

As for the drag racing -- that's been blown up by GPS data and video.

The only remaining issue is cops say Bieber and Khalil failed field sobriety tests ... which could indicate being under the influence of something other than booze ... such as marijuana or pills.

We're still awaiting urinalysis results ... which would show what if any drugs were in their systems.

Justin Bieber's "drag race" through Miami Beach was captured on surveillance video ... and backs up evidence TMZ first uncovered -- there didn't appear to be any high-speed racing going down at all.

In the video ... Bieber is leading in the Lambo, while his buddy Khalil drives BEHIND him in the Ferrari, and an SUV drives along side of both cars.

Single-file driving at reasonable speed ... with an SUV preventing any passing ... would make a race between Bieber and Khalil near impossible.

The video -- obtained by CBS4 in Miami -- also shows police tailing the group for a few blocks.

Miami Beach cops claim Justin Bieber was drag racing at the time of his arrest Thursday ... but the facts seem to show the allegation is MADE UP ... because we've learned they were actually UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT in the middle of the so-called drag race.

According to the police report ... cops spotted Justin and his buddy Khalil drag racing at around 4 AM.

The police report says ... an officer observed the 2 vehicles reaching speeds between 55 and 60 MPH.

Now the problems.

Cops say they noticed the "drag race" on the 2600 block of Pine Tree Drive. Cops were traveling in the opposite direction so they made a U turn and pursued the cars for 15 blocks.

Mind you ... Justin was driving one of the fastest race cars around -- a Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Spyder. Khalil was driving a Ferrari 16M. Cops claim 2 SUVs in Justin's entourage actually blocked off traffic to give the 2 a clear path.

So how could a 15-block drag race in those cars reach speeds of ONLY 60 MPH?

Fact is ... THEY DIDN'T REACH 60. IN FACT THEY DIDN'T REACH 50. THEY DIDN'T EVEN
REACH 40.

TMZ has learned ... the place where Justin and Khalil rented the cars attached a GPS device that also tracks speed.

The GPS clocked both cars at 27 MPH at the 3500 block of Pine Tree Drive ... smack in the middle of the so-called "drag race."

There's only one time they ever broke 50 MPH and that was long before the pursuit started. When Justin and Khalil left the club, one car was briefly clocked at 52 MPH and the other 47 MPH. Both drivers slowed down pretty quick and 5 blocks before cops noticed them they were going 34 MPH in a 30 MPH zone. Blocks later, they were steady at 27 MPH.

So it seems cops goosed the facts to justify the stop.

And that's not the only problem with the police report. TMZ broke the story ... Justin's blood alcohol level was .014 -- a barely measurable amount. Yet cops claim Justin reeked of alcohol both at the scene and at the police department.

Selena Gomez can pound sand. Justin Bieber's new girl stuck by his side in Miami the night after his DUI arrest ... and emerged this morning for a pretty epic walk of shame.

As we reported, self-proclaimed model Chantel Jeffries was riding shotgun in Bieber's yellow Lamborghini when he was popped for DUI.

And clearly, it was more than just a random hookup ... Chantel crashed with Bieber in his rented Miami mansion just hours after he was released from the pokey.

Meanwhile, Selena was out on the town in L.A., smiling and signing autographs for fans.

There may be a gigantic hole in the case against Justin Bieber ... because we've now learned the singer had next to NO alcohol in his system yet cops at the scene said he reeked of alcohol.

We have now confirmed Justin's actual blood alcohol level ... it was .014 -- next to nothing. Legal intoxication is .08. Law enforcement sources told TMZ Thursday Bieber had a .04 ... but we've now confirmed that is NOT true. He had a .014 -- an enormous difference.

Someone Justin's size would probably have higher than a .014 with a single beer. So the question ... how could cops say they were overpowered by the smell of alcohol?

According to the police report ... the arresting officer was leaning into the car, talking to Justin just after the stop and the cop says, "I immediately smelled an odor of alcohol eminating [sic] from the driver's breath."

The police report goes on ... Justin was then arrested and taken to a holding facility, where another officer said he smelled "... the odor of an alc bev on his breath."

Justin insisted at the scene he was NOT drunk. Cops say he failed his field sobriety test.

Sources connected to the case tell us ... this could well come down to a credibility case, with Justin's people accusing cops of lying. Fact is ... the Miami Beach PD has had credibility issues in the past. One law enforcement source confided in us ... "That police force has had a zillion problems."

Justin Bieber is suffering from the same delusion that Michael Jackson once embraced -- putting on a false air of confidence when behind the scenes their lives are falling apart.

You'll recall the scene with MJ back in 2004 ... after his arraignment on child molestation charges. Michael famously jumped on his SUV and waived and smiled, trying to convince everyone things were ok.

Justin did the same thing Thursday as he left jail ... after being busted for DUI and resisting arrest.

As much as both of them protested ... Michael and Justin had the same Achilles' heel -- drugs. Michael was hooked on a pharmacy of prescription drugs, and Justin has an enormous problem with sizzurp.

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.

Justin Bieber's father helped facilitate the insanely stupid moves of his son that landed him in jail ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us ... 38-year-old Jeremy Bieber was not only present when Justin was arrested early Thursday morning ... he was one of the people who helped block off the residential street so his son could drag race.

It's even worse ... Jeremy was in SET nightclub just before the arrest with Justin and was around him all day, when the self-confessed little pothead was smoking weed.

As we reported ... Justin admitted that he was under the influence of Rx drugs, alcohol and weed at the time of his arrest ... and Justin's dad was right there in the mix.

Unbelievable.

Paris Hilton flaunted her latest super expensive luxury ride -- a sweet red Ferrari -- and that got us thinking: Just how many cars have parked in Paris' garage?

Might be a classier way to word that ... but you get the point.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson should have no problem finding someone to do windows at his house if he keeps handing out new SUVs to housekeepers.

Now, THAT is major boss swag, Rock. Major.

Joe Jonas has found a new gig after the dismantling of his band ... he drives a fancy cab.

Joe has been officially certified by Uber to drive drunk and sober people alike through the streets of L.A.

The middle Jonas took random passengers to Pinkberry this week. The question is ... why?

We're told he's working with a mystery company -- not Uber -- to film a spot they hope will go viral. We're getting conflicting info on the company ... some people are saying MINI Cooper, but we're not sure.
