Justin Bieber admits minor charges in DUI case plea deal

Justin Bieber has pleaded guilty to misdemeanour charges of careless driving and resisting arrest.

The singer was arrested in Miami in January for allegedly driving under the influence during a drag race.

Billboard reports that a plea deal has been struck, with the 20-year-old admitting some of his minor charges.

As a result, the 'Believe' star has been given a 12-hour anger management course, a $50,000 charitable contribution and fines.

Because of the plea deal, Bieber will avoid charges relating to DUI.

Defence attorney Mark Shapiro confirmed that the singer had already given $50,000 to a local children's charity.

Miami State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle concluded: "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. The intervention and counselling parts of the plea should provide a pathway toward adult responsibility."
