Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has pleaded no contest to misdemeanour vandalism in connection with the egging of his neighbour’s home and has been sentenced to two years’ probation.<\/p>\n

California’s court also ordered him to pay $80,900 (\u00a347,160) in damages, serve five days of community service and complete an anger management programme.<\/p>\n

Bieber, 20, was not present in court for the arraignment.<\/p>\n

The singer faces two other criminal cases in Florida and Toronto.<\/p>\n

“Justin is glad to get this matter resolved and behind him,” Bieber’s representatives said in a statement after the verdict by Los Angeles Superior Court in Van Nuys.<\/p>\n

“He will continue to move forward focusing on his career and his music.”<\/p>\n

‘High-fiving friends’<\/p>\n

Investigators searched Bieber’s Calabasas home in California in January for evidence after the egging apparently caused serious damage.<\/p>\n

One of the singer’s friends was arrested on drug possession charges after that search.<\/p>\n

The LA County Sheriff’s Office say they were looking for surveillance video tapes when they spotted the drugs “in plain view”.<\/p>\n

Surveillance footage seized from the home appears to show Bieber high-fiving friends and celebrating after throwing eggs at his neighbour’s home, police said.<\/p>\n

The pop star could have faced a more serious felony charge if the damage to the home had been greater than $20,000.<\/p>\n

He has since moved out of Calabasas to Beverly Hills.<\/p>\n

Two previous investigations into Bieber’s conduct by the sheriff’s department did not lead to charges.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors declined to charge him last year after a neighbour complained he drove recklessly through the area, and in November 2012 after a paparazzi photographer accused Bieber of assault.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Miami authorities have charged him with driving under the influence and driving without a valid licence. That trial is due to take place later this month.<\/p>\n

And Toronto prosecutors have accused Bieber of assaulting a limosine driver in December.<\/p>\n
