Justin Bieber has been placed on two years
probation and ordered to take anger management
classes after pleading no contest to misdemeanour
vandalism charges on Wednesday, July 9, 2014 for
egging his neighbour’s house in Calabasas,
California in January.
Justin Bieber has been placed on two years
probation and ordered to seek anger management.
The 20-year-old star, who pleaded no contest to
misdemeanour vandalism charges on Wednesday,
July 9, 2014for egging his former neighbour’s
house in Calabasas, California in January, must
attend 12 weeks of classes with a minimum of one
every week, and must pay the victim $80,900 for
causing ‘an incredible amount of damage,’ as part
of his deal with prosecutors to avoid jail.
The ‘Confident’ hit-maker, who was not required to
attend the Superior Court hearing in Van Nuys,
California, was also ordered to perform five days of
community service, such as picking up rubbish or
graffiti removal, according to CNN.
In a written statement after the hearing, a
spokesperson for the star said: ‘Justin is glad to
get this matter resolved and behind him. He will
continue to move forward focusing on his career
and his music.’
The victim previously submitted estimates
suggesting the Canadian star, who was captured
on video during the incident, had caused $20,000
worth of damage to his house because a large
portion of the property needed to be re-plastered,
but the judge said that cost of the repairs actually
exceeded $80,000, adding: ‘The house is a dream
house.’
Following months of tension between him and his
neighbours, Justin sold his mansion in the gated
community to Khloé Kardashian, 30, in March, but
the singer was also slapped with a restraining
order, instructing him to stay 100 yards away from
the former neighbour and his family.
Meanwhile, he is reportedly still in talks to reach a
plea deal with prosecutors in Miami to avoid a trial
in relation to his Driving Under the Influence (DUI),
resisting arrest and possessing an invalid driver’s
licence charges stemming from his arrest there in
January.
