(CNN) — Three Florida police officers have been suspended in connection with allegations that officers escorted pop star Justin Bieber’s caravan in the Miami area without authorization this week, Opa-Locka’s city manager said Friday.
The city has been investigating reports that Opa-Locka officers escorted Bieber from the city’s airport to Miami strip clubs Monday — the day Bieber arrived in South Florida and three days before the singer would be arrested in Miami Beach on suspicion of drunken driving.
Opa-Locka Deputy City Manager David Chiverton said the three officers would be suspended with pay, pending an investigation.
Chiverton said he didn’t know how the escort arrangement was initiated.
