According to TMZ, LA City Councilman Dennis Zine witnessed Bieber?s reckless driving and called 911.

?Bieber was driving like a maniac. He was weaving in and out of traffic,? Zine reportedly told the website. ?There was hardly any space between cars as he weaved from lane to lane.?
Zine, a former LAPD motor officer, said he would have given the Canadian singer more than just a citation.
?If I was on patrol, I would have arrested him for reckless driving,? he told TMZ. ?I was going 60 [miles per hour] and he drove by me like he was in a rocket ship. He was a maniac.?

Scooter Braun, the singer?s manager, said Bieber was being chased by paparazzi, and downplayed the incident, telling TMZ Zine ?is just a councilman looking for a headline.?
