Justin Bieber's private jet has reportedly been detained on suspicion of there being marijuana on board.

The pop star landed in New Jersey's Terboro airport on Friday in preparation for Sunday's Super Bowl, which he is apparently planning to attend.

According to TMZ, everyone on the plane was searched but no drugs were found and they were free to go.

Sources told the website passengers knew they'd be searched since they were flying into the US from Canada.

Radar Online reports that drug-sniffing dogs were used to search the plane.

This incident comes just days after the 19-year-old turned himself in to Toronto police after a December 29 skirmish involving a limo driver.

Bieber allegedly attacked the driver, resulting in criminal assault charges.

While it was initially believed that members of his entourage were responsible for the attack, Bieber became a prime suspect after he didn't show up for questioning.

"We're told Toronto cops wanted to talk to Justin but he didn't come in for an interview and they got annoyed," TMZ wrote.

Bieber also entered a not guilty plea on Wednesday against charges of driving under the influence, resisting arrest without violence and driving on an expired licence in Miami on January 23.

Although official toxicology reports have not yet been released, preliminary tests reveal the singer tested positive for both marijuana and Xanax.
