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 on Friday alleging the singer-songwriter had 2.6 grams of cocaine when he was arrested on September 19 after being detained by a hotel security guard.
Mars, whose real name is Peter Hernandez, is due in court on November 18 on the possession of a controlled substance charge. If convicted, he faces up to four years in prison and a US$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.
