According to the plea deal, the judge ordered the singer to serve two years probation, perform five days community service and pay more than $80,000 in restitution. He must also complete an anger management course.
The singer, 20, allegedly threw eggs at his neighbor’s home in Calabasas, California back on Jan. 6 and police were called that night at around 7:40 p.m., authorities said.
The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office added that Bieber “will not be present for his 1:30 p.m. arraignment at Los Angeles County Superior Court in Van Nuys” Wednesday.
Police spent months investigating the case and Bieber could have faced a felony charge had it been deemed that the neighbor’s home had suffered and exceeded a certain amount of damage from the egging.
Police booked videos and photos into evidence after executing a search warrant at Bieber’s home a week after the incident and with this announcement have deem the crime a misdemeanor instead of felony.
A police news release back in January estimated the damage to the home at almost $20,000.
A rep for Bieber did not immediately return a message for comment.
