Singer Justin Bieber was stopped by a police officer and was fined for using his cell phone while driving a car.

The incident took place on Saturday when Bieber was spotted driving his black Mercedes G-Wagon.

According to sources, Bieber was calm and cooperative and accepted his ticket from the police officer without making any fuss.

Offenders have to pay a fine of $162 (Dh594.88) if caught using a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle.

Bieber is currently on a break after wrapping up the European leg of his Purpose world tour. He has just returned to the US after a trip to Australia.

He will resume his tour on July 29 with the second North American leg and then continue with several concert dates in Asia.
