On the 23rd of January at 4:13 am, pop star Justin Bieber of 25202 Prado Del Grandiso Calabasas California was arrested in Miami Beach, Fl for drunk driving. According to the Miami police report, Bieber was first seen driving north on Pine Tree Drive in one of two Lamborghinis. Officers then began their pursuit of Bieber, pulling him over at 41st and Pine Tree Drive.

Bieber, a 19 year old pop star from Canada, was charged with one count of misdemeanor drunk driving, one count of resisting arrest without violence, and one count of driving with an expired license. According to Miami police, Bieber failed the field sobriety test, resulting in his DUI. Bieber was also allegedly participating in drag racing on Pine Tree Drive with another Lamborghini.

According to the Miami police report, there were also two black SUV’s traveling behind the Lamborghinis on Pine Tree Drive. These two vehicles were assumed by police to be stopping traffic from traveling on this road in order to set up an open lane for the Lamborghinis to race on. It is not stated in the police report who the driver of the other Lamborghini is nor who the drivers of the SUV’s are.

 

My name is Abigail Matheson, though most people call me Abbi. Unless we’re talking about my mother, in which case she has a slew of nicknames for me. I was born and raised in the same tiny town in New Hampshire. Do you know where Exeter is? No? Portsmouth or Hampton? I won’t even ask if you know of my town, Brentwood. We don’t even have a  postoffice for pete’s sake.

I have wanted to be a writer my whole life. When I was younger, my family supported this dream of mine. Little did I know they were silently hoping that I would move on from this apparently crazy pipe dream and on to something that would actually make me money. But I have come to terms with the fact that I may have to sell a kidney to feed myself if I pursue a career in journalism. My family however has not. It’s a sore subject come Thanksgiving.

My dream is to be an investigative journalist. This stemmed from my love of research papers. I really enjoy collecting information and finding out everything about a topic, especially if it exposes some sort of injustice or truth.

I want to write because, for one thing, I enjoy being creative. There’s just something about the ability to transport someone into a completely different world using only words. For a while my dream was to just become an author but I have since then been introduced into the world of journalism. While less creative, you still get to take people into a different world by giving them a new view on a topic.
