PHOTO: Dallas Stars put Leafs fan Justin Bieber's mugshot on jumbotron
From egging, to illicit texting, to being arrested for drag racing in Miami; 2014 has not been kind to pop sensation and Ontario native Justin Bieber.
Bieber, who was picked up by police in Miami late on Wednesday night and charged with driving under the influence and resisting arrest, collected another indignity on Thursday night. To add insult to (legal) injury, the singer found himself the subject of in-game entertainment fodder.
In a game between the Stars and the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Stars flashed a photo of Bieber's recent mugshot on the jumbotron and identified the disgraced musician as a "Maple Leafs Fan." The Stars then boasted about their excellent joke on Twitter:
It's true. There are indeed Leafs fans in the house. See jumbotronRT @damnitjason: Thank you @DallasStars Thank you. pic.twitter.com/KJIjTg6Tcz

It could've been worse. After all the Stars could've used any number of unflattering photos of Mayor Rob Ford.
UPDATE: it got worse.
If the game wasn't bad enough, they have to show this on the jumbo tron during TV time out. #leafs pic.twitter.com/RnXylN7NFj
