UPDATE: Bruno Mars Faces Up To 4 Years In Prison For Cocaine Possession, Label Finally Confirms Arrest
Last month I wrote an article about Bruno Mars getting arrested at the Hard Rock Casino in Vegas, but his label didn’t release a statement at press time to confirm the arrest, well the reports are in and the arrest is confirmed. Check out the latest update from the NyDailyNews:
Bruno Mars, singer of the hit R&B song “Just the Way You Are,” faces a felony cocaine charge stemming from his arrest after a performance at a Las Vegas nightclub last month. - The Clark County district attorney’s office filed a criminal complaint Friday alleging the rising singer-songwriter had 2.6 grams of cocaine when he was arrested Sept. 19 after being detained by a hotel security guard. - Mars, whose real name is Peter Hernandez, is due in court Nov. 18 on the possession of a controlled substance charge. If convicted, he faces up to four years in prison and a $5,000 fine. - “Just the Way You Are” is No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. - Hernandez, 24, was in Las Vegas for a performance at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s Wasted Space nightclub. - After the show, a bathroom attendant told police Hernandez was taking a long time in a stall with a bag of a white, powdered substance, according to the arrest report. The attendant alerted a security guard, who confronted Hernandez as he left the stall. The security guard said he asked Hernandez to hand over any narcotics he had, and Hernandez removed a bag of cocaine from his left-front jeans pocket, the arrest report said. - Hernandez was taken to a holding cell, where he was questioned by an arresting officer. When asked what was going on, Hernandez replied: “Can I speak to you honestly, sir?” He said he acted foolishly and had never used drugs before, the arrest report said. - Hernandez sang the hooks on B.o.B’s “Nothin’ on You” and Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire” – both chart-toppers – and co-wrote and produced Cee-Lo Green’s latest expletive-laden single. - His label, Elektra Records, released a brief statement Friday: “We congratulate Bruno Mars on his chart-topping success, and provide him with our full love and support.” - Hernandez’s debut album, “Doo-Wops & Hooligans,” is scheduled for release Tuesday.
