Justin Bieber Pleads Guilty to Careless Driving in Canada (Report)

Justin Bieber has been convicted of careless driving in Canada.

The Canadian pop phenom’s lawyer, Seth Weinstein, confirmed to the Canadian Press newswire that a plea deal had produced a $750 fine for careless driving and an absolute discharge on an assault conviction.

Bieber’s conviction stemmed from a 2014 car collision with a local photographer in rural Ontario.

He originally had been charged with dangerous driving, which now was reduced to careless driving as part of a plea deal with local prosecutors.

Bieber and then-girlfriend, Selena Gomez‘, holiday retreat in Stratford, Ontario, last year apparently was interrupted by the unwelcome presence of the paparazzo, leading to the vehicle collision.
