A USA Today writer said police were previously tight-lipped about the assault allegations as they were unsure whether Bieber was actually involved.

Toronto police remained mum on the details two hours before Bieber arrived, saying on Twitter they couldn't confirm the information on the pop star's surrender.

Add to that an ongoing investigation into an egg-throwing incident, in which Bieber allegedly caused $20,000 in damages to his neighbor's home. CNN reports a prosecutor will soon decide whether the singer will face a felony charge. 

CBC reports Bieber's arraignment for his Miami Beach charges are set for Valentine's Day, though Florida law does not require him to be in attendance.
