Justin Bieber landed in more hot water after his plane was allegedly searched for drugs upon arriving at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey on Friday (January 31).

Reports say authorities were reacting to a strong odor of marijuana in the plane - however their search reportedly turned up nothing.

The teen arrived in the U.S. from Canada after a week filled with two arrests: he was charged with assault in Toronto after he allegedly hit a limo driver during a December visit.

A few days earlier Bieber was arrested for drunk driving and resisting arrest in Miami, Florida after police suspected him of drag racing on a city street.
