After a skiing vacation with friends in Colorado, Bieber was photographed earlier this week visiting a strip club in the Miami area and skating at Lil Wayne's private skate park on Thursday. The Opa-Locka Police Department is reportedly investigating claims that Bieber received an unauthorized police escort after he landed his plane at the Opa-Locka Executive Airport earlier this week.
