The question of whether Justin Bieber was arrested is being asked by people searching the Internet because of rumors across social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. To quell the rumors, the answer is a flat out “no”. It turns out that this is just a false rumor. It’s the kind that spreads like a virus across the Internet stirring people into a frenzy.

This particular rumor was likely a misunderstanding that turned into a wide-spread rumor about Bieber being arrested. As Internet frenzies go, lots of websites are jumping on the band wagon to say Justin Bieber has, in fact, been arrested.

This only fuels the rumor and totally blurs the truth behind the story.

There are two stories floating around the Internet that may be the source of the false rumors. One is Chace Crawford’s arrest for possession of marijuana on Friday morning and showed an unflattering mug shot of the star. The other was regarding Jeremy Bieber, Justin’s dad.

He was actually arrested several times throughout his life. That could be the catalyst starting the Internet rumors flying that it was Justin, not his dad that was arrested. Justin’s parents were in a custody battle. So, Bieber has already been in the news for various reasons. People are just getting confused between the stories and the rumors that Justin Bieber was arrested. At least he hasn’t been arrested since Saturday. That much is certain.
