(AP) LOS ANGELES – Heartthrob singer Justin Bieber has been ticketed for speeding on a Los Angeles freeway after being chased by at least one other vehicle, authorities said.
The 18-year-old “Boyfriend” and “Baby” crooner was cited for driving in excess of 65 mph at about 10:45 a.m. on Friday morning, after calls came in complaining of a freeway chase on southbound U.S. Highway 101 near Studio City, said Officer Ming Hsu of the California Highway Patrol.
Bieber told officers he was being chased by paparazzi, Hsu said.
“The second vehicle left the area and there’s a search to find that driver,” Hsu said.
Hsu did not have a description of the other vehicle.
A call and an email to Bieber’s publicist weren’t immediately returned.
