Great new for the Biebs! The 20-year-old is avoiding time in the slammer, but he’s being ordered to take an anger management course and make a $50,000 charitable donation.
Justin Bieber, 20, just got a lucky break. The singer, who was arrested in January on charges of driving under the influence, driving with an expired license and resisting arrest without violence, has avoided jail time. Keep reading for all the details of his plea deal!
Instead of serving time, Justin must make a $50,000 charitable
donation, pay a $500 court fine and take part in a private 12-hour anger
management course, ABC News reports. He’ll also appear in a series of videos about the consequences of drunk driving.
Justin will reportedly plead guilty to resisting arrest without
violence. The DUI charge was reduced to “careless driving,” to which
Justin is pleading guilty to as well. His charge of driving without a
valid license was dropped when the singer later proved he had one.
“The strengths and weaknesses of the case motivated everyone to seek
this appropriate resolution. The ultimate purpose of the Miami Beach
Police Department’s initial traffic stop was to end some rash,
juvenile-type conduct before a tragedy occurred,” Miami-Dade State
Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said during the sentencing. “The
intervention and counseling parts of the plea should provide a pathway
toward adult responsibility.”
Justin did not attend the hearing.
In July, Justin paid $80,000 in damages after pleading no contest in a misdemeanor vandalism after egging his neighbor’s home.
He also has two ongoing lawsuits against him — one for allegedly
assaulting a limo driver in Toronto and one for allegedly assaulting a
photographer in Miami.
