“All this to say, God has brought me a long way. From then til now, I do realize something...God was as close to me then as he is right now.”

Bieber signed off his statement, declaring his unwavering love for his enormous fan base. According to reports, the singer was 19 years old at the time of the famous arrest, for which he pleaded guilty.

The Grammy Award winner was held on suspicion of resisting arrest, driving without a valid license, and being drunk while driving. His charges were, however, reduced to reckless driving and resisting arrest after a plea deal.
