Justin Bieber pleads guilty in deal in US

August 13, 2014

Pop singer Justin Bieber pleaded guilty today to misdemeanour charges of careless driving and resisting arrest seven months after his arrest in Miami Beach following what police initially called an illegal street drag race.

The 20-year-old pop star's plea deal with prosecutors, detailed at a court hearing, includes a 12-hour anger management course, a USD 50,000 charitable contribution and fines. The deal allows Bieber to avoid a driving under the influence conviction.
