Bruno Mars Receives a Plea Deal For Drug Charge

Posted at 02/04/2011 by Staff 0 Comment

According to TMZ:

Bruno Mars’ plea deal is now official … he won’t have to do jail time for his cocaine arrest last year, and if he keeps his nose clean for the next year … it all goes away.

As TMZ first reported, Mars and the Clark County D.A. struck a deal in which Mars pled guilty to possession of a controlled substance, but the charge will be expunged from his record if he stays out of trouble for the next 12 months.

Mars was in court today with his lawyers, Blair Berk and David Chesnoff, when he formally entered his plea. He also has to complete 200 hours of community service.

Mars was arrested in September at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, after a bathroom attendant ratted him out and told security there was a man in a stall doing drugs.
