Justin Bieber pleaded guilty on Wednesday to misdemeanor charges of careless driving and resisting arrest seven months after being arrested in Miami.
This was done in exchange for his DUI charge being dropped, according to ABC News.
The 20-year-old Believe hitmaker also reached a plea deal which includes taking a 12-hour anger management course, paying fines and donating $50,000 to a charitable cause. His attorney Mark Shapiro noted the star has already written a check for that amount to a local children's charity.
Bieber was not present at the hearing before Miami-Dade County Judge William Altfield.
The anger management course will be private as it is feared public sessions would turn into a 'frenzy.'
He will also have to view online videos of stories of real-life DUI cases with tragic ends.
The singer's friend Khalil Sharieff, who was arrested at the same time when they allegedly drag raced, is expected to receive a similar plea deal.
