The past continues to creep up and haunt, with previous news of Justin Bieber weed plane controversy; a flight was halted at Teterboro, New Jersey airport months ago, on account of a strange, "weed" smell in the cabin.

Justin Bieber boarded a private jet bound for the Super Bowl February, but the plane was immediately halted upon arrival after suspicion of marijuana use reached the New Jersey TSA. Authorities held the plane but found no evidence of weed on board.

Recent news has cleared Bieber of the case. The FAA saw no cause to push the allegation further, especially when investigation revealed neither Bieber nor any of his friends interfered with authorities during inspection and investigation.

The case may have been dismissed, but it's likely Bieber will remain on the watch list on state and border entry points, especially if he's entering the US from another country. Bieber's criminal case raises flags upon entry, and though inspections are random, he'll likely be grilled indefinitely at airports before being released (tmz.com).

It gets worse, since the Justin Bieber weed plane controversy has also involved his father in the mix-up. Witness testimonies during the formal investigation claim Bieber and his father ignored the pilot's warning to refrain from smoking marijuana in-flight.

According to a source, in a February CNN report: "The pilots repeatedly asked the pop star, his father, Jeremy Bieber, and other passengers to put away marijuana during the flight, according to the source. The pilot said the singer and his father were verbally abusive to the flight crew. This prompted the pilot to have the flight attendant stay close to the cockpit to avoid contact with Bieber as much as possible."

The Justin Bieber weed plane controversy escalated when "A number of federal agents from Customs and Border Protection, the Drug Enforcement Administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement said they detected the odor, which prompted the search by drug-sniffing dogs."
