The “Just the Way You Are” singer-songwriter, known for collaborations with performers like Flo Rida and B.o.B, was confronted by security in a bathroom at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
Mars, whose real name is Peter Hernandez, handed over a bag of cocaine to the arresting officer, telling the cop that he made a stupid mistake and had never used drugs before.
The singer performed at last week’s MTV Video Music Awards and had done a show at the Hard Rock the night before his arrest.
