Justin Bieber pays ex-neighbor $80K for egging case. Teen idol also faces hard labor, anger management

Pop star Justin Bieber is paying over $80,000 in restitution and has completed the bulk of his court-ordered anger management classes after he pleaded no contest to charges of misdemeanor and vandalism.

Bieber was charged with egging a neighbor's house in July. He is also set to complete at least five days of community labor, which is yet to be appointed.

The incident was apparently a culmination of several run-ins between Bieber and his neighbor, web mogul Jeff Schwartz, who previously complained of the pop singer's loud parties and guests running fast cars on the residential street.

Although police did not find surveillance footage of the actual incident, they found evidence to directly link Bieber and several friends to throwing eggs at Schwartz's property, causing damage to his expensive exterior plaster and imported wood costing $20,000 -- enough to qualify for felony charges.

Representatives from Bieber's camp said that he is ready to put the incident in the past.

"Justin is glad to get this matter resolved and behind him. He will continue to move forward focusing on his career and his music," they said.

Initally, Bieber's camp was reporting he would complete the physical labor part of his sentence by painting walls with MusiCares, an organization that helps musicians struggling with drugs and other problems. That has apparently fallen through.

According to reports, the state agency CalTrans, which cleans up graffiti and garbage from highways, usually handles appointments for community hard labor.

However, it is unlikely that Bieber will complete his sentence with them due to concerns that fans may catch on to where he will be assigned and cause mass hysteria in the area.

Bieber has until his next hearing on Feb. 10, 2015 to complete his sentence under supervision. In addition, he will remain on unsupervised probation for the remainder of his two-year sentence.
