Justin Bieber has been given a sentence of two years probation in relation to charges of throwing eggs at his neighbour’s house. Or ‘misdemeanour vandalism’ as it was called in court, after his lawyers successfully negotiated away from a threatened felony charge which would have had harsher sentencing implications.

In addition to the non-prison sentence, Bieber, who entered a plea of no contest but was not present in court to hear the ruling, was also ordered to pay damages of $80,900, do five days of community service and complete an anger management programme. In a statement outside court, Bieber’s reps 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”.

There is also the matter of the two other criminal cases against the singer too – for DUI and assault – but at least the egg thing is done with.
