R&B breakout star Bruno Mars -- known for his hit songs "Nothin? on You" and "Billionaire" -- was arrested early Sunday morning in Las Vegas for allegedly being in possession of cocaine.
According to the arrest report, Bruno, whose legal name is Peter Hernandez, was taken in by law enforcement around 1:50 a.m. after a bathroom attendant at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino told a security officer that there was a gentleman in the restroom who he thought was doing drugs. The attendant explained to the security officer that he could see a "male with a striped red shirt with a baggy of white powder substance." Security than confiscated the substance that was discovered to be cocaine, and Bruno was placed in a holding cell before being taking in by LVPD.
The report also claims that when approached by the police officer, Bruno "admitted he did a foolish thing and has never used drugs before." The case against Bruno is under review and charges have not yet been filed. At the time he was released from custody, he was given a court return date of November 18, 2010.
