LAS VEGAS — 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, 24, whose real name is Peter Hernandez, is due in court Nov. 18 on the charge of possession of a controlled substance. 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. The Associated Press
