After meeting friends for a party at the American Hotel, he was taken into custody.

At approximately midnight, the Grammy winner and his friends parted ways.

Shortly after departing the restaurant, Justin was pulled over.

He was stopped because of a traffic violation.

"Nobody was hurt and there was no drama at the scene," an insider told TMZ.

"Justin was out to dinner with friends and there were cop cars stationed outside the restaurant like they are most nights.

"They look for people who are leaving after midnight who might have been drinking.

"Justin left at 12:30 am and was pulled over as soon as he left."

Police further explained that the SexyBack singer was swerving and failed to heed a stop sign.

While he was pulled over, cops said they attempted to perform a field sobriety test.
