"We're investigating whether our police department escorted him there," said Chiverton. "You can have fun in Miami, but not too much fun."
Bieber was later released and escorted from jail by correctional officers. Wearing a hoodie and dark sunglasses, Bieber climbed on top of a waiting SUV to wave to fans.
The teen and children's idol, who has had nearly 50 million followers on Twitter, risks running afoul of his fans' parents. And even his hardcore supporters recognize he may have entered dangerous territory.
"The rough times he is going through, all of his fans have to be here to support him," said Salynn Chiong, 20, as she watched Bieber leaving jail.
She hoped he goes into rehab "and takes a break from the chaos he is living in."
