The 19-year-old singer has had yet more legal trouble after his private jet was detained Teterboro Airport for several hours, reported TMZ online.
Bieber was travelling from his native Canada where, just two days ago, he was charged with assaulting a limo driver. And it seems New Jersey law enforcers were taking every precaution when the troubled teen touched down on American soil.
As the aircraft landed, authorities boarded with sniffer dogs and began to search for any illegal substances after they detected an odour of marijuana upon arrival.
No contraband or other illegal substances were found but all passengers were escorted to a holding area for questioning before being allowed to leave the airport.

The plane was held by law enforcers for at least 4 hours and Border Protection Officers and US Customs authorities were seen getting off the plane.
The cautionary action comes a week after Bieber was arrested in Miami after local police officers discovered him drag racing in a residential area while under the influence of alcohol and drugs. He was charged with resisting arrest without violence, drag racing, three charges of DUI and driving without a valid license.
The attack was triggered by a dispute over the volume of the radio, Bieber wanted the radio louder, and when the driver did not comply, a physical altercation occurred.
