Bruno Mars opted to plead guilty rather than do time in jail, as E! News reported.
Peter Gene Hernandez, professionally known as Bruno Mars, had his first clash with the police in September at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas when he was found to possess 2.6 grams of something that was presumed to be cocaine.
The 25-year-old singer is to appear at court on Friday. He decided to plead guilty upon which he will be fined for $2,000 and ordered to fill in 200 hours of community service. Besides, the musician who can collect up to 7 Grammys in February will have to undergo drug counseling.
It being his first offense, after a year of informal probation Mars will go back to a clean record.
