Bruno Mars Due To Enter Plea In Vegas Cocaine Case
Grammy-winning pop star Bruno Mars is due to plead guilty before a Nevada judge to cocaine possession as part of a deal with Las Vegas prosecutors that could result in the felony conviction being erased next year.
The 25-year-old singer-songwriter is due Wednesday in Clark County District Court on a plea agreement that would get him probation, a $2,000 fine, and requirements to perform 200 hours of community service and complete drug counseling.
If he stays out of trouble for a year, the conviction would be removed from his record.
Mars’ real name is Peter Hernandez.
