Earlier this year, Justin Bieber was arrested for driving under the influence after being caught in an alleged drag race in Miami Beach. At the time of arrest, Bieber tested positive for marijuana, reports TMZ.

It was no secret that Bieber's attorneys were looking to reach a plea deal with Miami prosecutors to make the criminal charge go away. However, the sticking point in the plea deal appeared to be a public service announcement that a Miami judge wanted Bieber to make. In the plea deal that was eventually struck, Bieber agreed to plead guilty to reckless driving in exchange for dropping the other charges against him including the criminal DUI. Bieber also agreed to pay a fine and attend anger management classes as part of the deal.

However, Bieber will not have to make the anti-drug public service announcement. Initially, the judge wanted the pop star to pay for, produce, and star in the PSA. Bieber was against the idea saying that he felt it was inappropriate. Bieber will also not have to serve probation as part of the plea deal. This means that any further run-ins with the law will not automatically result in an arrest for Bieber.
