Justin Bieber's defense team has recently overcome a legal hurdle after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has cleared the Canadian singer of any wrongdoing stemming from complaints about he and his entourage smoking marijuana in a private jet. The smoke from the marijuana was allegedly dense that the pilot had to put an oxygen mask on.
Daily Mail said that the superstar was investigated after a January 31 incident of him flying with his father, Jeremy Bieber, and 10 friends from Ontario, Canada to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey to attend the Super Bowl had led the pilot donning the oxygen mask, purportedly to avoid getting high and risk the safety of the people onboard the plane. The British tabloid noted that the incident occurred days after his DUI arrest on January 23 in Miami.
Although the FAA has closed the investigation after concluding that neither he or his fellow passengers had interfered with the flight crew in any way, it can be surmised that Bieber will be facing strict questioning by customs officials upon entering the US in the near future due to his many run-ins with the law in the last several months.
The FAA investigation also involved further scrutiny into allegations that he and his 38 year-old father had verbally abused a flight attendant to the extent that she had to hide in the cockpit to avoid the two.
NBC News obtained the official report of the verbal abuse incident, which read, "The captain of the flight stated that he warned the passengers - including Bieber - on several occasions to stop smoking marijuana. The captain also stated he needed to request that the passengers stop their harassing behavior toward the flight attendant and after several warnings asked the flight attendant to stay with him near the cockpit to avoid any further abuse."
