Gasp! Bieber? Drugs? Say it ain’t so!

Cops standing around the blonde hearthrob’s tour bus outside the Globe Arena in Stockholm, apparently detected a “strong smell” coming from inside the vehicle, People Magazine reported.

According to Swedish newspaper Afonbladet, that smell was marijuana.

Police spokesman Lars Bystrom told the AP that a stun gun was also found at the scene. The “substance,” as pot is apparently called in Sweden, has been sent to a laboratory for analysis.

The Biebz, who arrived in Finland Thursday, was unfazed.
