For Justin Bieber, the hits just keep on coming.
One week after he was busted on charges of driving under the influence and resisting arrest following an alleged drag race in Miami, the 19-year-old pop superstar will be charged in connection with an alleged assault involving his limo driver last month, the CBC reports.
Meanwhile, a White House petition calling for U.S. authorities to deport the Canada native passed 100,000 signatures – the necessary threshold to ensure a response from the government.
The alleged limo driver assault happened on Dec. 29, when Bieber attended a Toronto Maple Leafs hockey game at the Air Canada Centre. The details of the alleged assault – including whether Bieber or a member of his entourage were involved -- were not immediately clear.
The CBC, citing unidentified police sources, reported that Bieber was expected to be charged with assault and surrender to Toronto police Wednesday night.
As for the petition, which was launched less than a week ago, nearly 140,000 people as of early Wednesday evening had joined in the call to “remove Justin Bieber from our society.”
“We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive, and drug abusing Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked,” the petition says. “He is not only threatening the safety of our people but he is also a terrible influence on our nation’s youth.”
The petition carries no legal weight and likely won't result in any significant action by the U.S. government, but it comes on the heels of other troubling behavior involving the "Confident" singer.
Bieber was arrested last Thursday just after 4 a.m. on Pine Tree Drive and 26th Street in Miami. According to police, he was driving a yellow Lamborghini while under the influence of marijuana, prescription pills and alcohol.
The teen sensation was released on $2,500 bond. The star's mug shot was released, showing him smiling for camera.
The week before, a dozen detectives raided the pop star's California home, searching for evidence that would link him to an egging incident, which caused approximately $20,000 in damages to a neighbor's home.
During the search, one of the singer's friends, Xavier Smith, also known as Lil Za, was arrested for narcotics possession.
Bieber then headed to Miami, where he reportedly dropped $75,000 in $1 bills at a strip club.
