Miguel pled "no contest" to driving under the influence (DUI).
The 'Beautiful' hitmaker, who was charged with two counts of drunk driving after being arrested on August 15 upon being pulled over by police in Los Angeles for having tinted windows and officers discovered his blood alcohol level was slightly above the legal limit in California, was placed on informal probation for three years in court on Friday (21.02.14).
He was also fined $360 and ordered to complete an alcohol education class.
The 28-year-old star later told gossip website TMZ.com: "Driving with alcohol in my system was reckless. I'm really sorry and I'm taking responsibility for this mistake."
It was previously reported that Miguel, whose full name is Miguel Jontel Pimentel, was cooperative following his arrest and was released on $5,000 bail.
The singer also hit the headlines last June when he accidentally kicked a fan during his performance at the Billboard Music Awards.
The singer-songwriter leaped from one stage to another while singing 'Adorn' and caught his leg on the back of Khyati Shah's head, slamming it into the platform.
While it had been claimed Miguel was warned the jump was too dangerous to attempt, his spokeswoman denied this.

Hulk Hogan is returning to the WWE next week.
The 60-year-old star, who hasn't been on WWE television since December 2007, is set to make his re-debut on the flagship show 'Monday Night Raw' before appearing on 'WWE Raw Backstage Pass' on Monday (24.02.14), and will also host the special anniversary of 'WrestleMania 30' in New Orleans in April.
Confirming the news to WWE.com, the multi-time world champion, who first competed at the very first event in 1985, said: "Words cannot express how excited I am to be back in the WWE family. I only have one question for the WWE Universe: Whatcha you gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild as the host of 'WrestleMania 30'? (sic)"
WWE Chairman Vince McMahon added: "We are thrilled that Hulk Hogan has returned home to WWE. It's fitting to have him help us celebrate 30 years of 'WrestleMania' and usher in a new era with the launch of WWE Network."
The legendary wrestler's return coincides with the launch of the WWE's new streaming network, which launches on the same day.
WWE Superstar Ryback recently said it "feels right" for Hulk to get back in the ring.
The 32-year-old professional wrestler - real name Ryan Reeves - previously said: "To have a guy like Hulk Hogan come back for 'WrestleMania 30' it just feels right. His impact on the WWE and the significance of his career in the WWE to where it is now, he played a big part of that. To have him back, and I don't know his physical condition or anything of that nature so I don't know what role he can play, but just to have someone like Hulk Hogan there in the building in New Orleans it just feels right. I'm hoping something can be done on that end."

Sam Worthington has sparked rumours he recently married Lara Bingle.
The 'Avatar' star and the 26-year-old model, who both hail from Australia, have been spotted wearing matching rings in New York City.
The 37-year-old heartthrob, who was previously linked to model Sophie Monk, wore a simple gold band on his left ring finger while out walking around Manhattan on Thursday (20.02.14), according to PEOPLE.com.
Lara, who recently moved to New York, showed off a similar ring in a photograph she posted of them on Instagram on Valentine's Day last Friday (14.02.14), with the caption: "His Heart. My Heart."
A spokesperson for the couple has yet to comment on rumours they tied the knot recently.
The pair began dating in September 2013 and made their first red carpet appearance together last month when they attended the Australian Academy Cinema Television Arts in Sydney.
It was recently revealed Sam and actress Zoe Saldana are returning for the three 'Avatar' sequels.
The stars have signed on to reprise their characters Neytiri and Jake Sully for James Cameron's next three instalments of the sci-fi adventure.
Zoe tied the knot in a secret ceremony in London with artist Marco Perego last June, and only confirmed her nuptials in December.

Christina Aguilera is "excited" to be expecting her second child.
The newly-engaged singer, who already has a six-year-old son, Max, with her ex-husband Jordan Bratman, will welcome her first child with fiancé Matthew Rutler later this year, and can't wait to expand her family.
A source close to 'The Voice' USA judge told UsMagazine.com: "(The pregnancy) wasn't expected, but it also wasn't unwelcome. They are all very excited though! Christina loves being a mom."
The insider insisted that Christina, who has yet to comment on her pregnancy, doesn't care whether the baby is a boy or a girl, and added: "They just want a healthy baby."
Production assistant Matthew, who met the blonde beauty on the set of 'Burlesque' in 2010 while she was going through her divorce, was planning to propose to the singer long before she got pregnant and began designing her engagement ring more than a year ago.
The couple announced their engagement on Twitter on Valentine's Day last Friday (14.02.14), two days after he popped the question in the backyard of their new home in Los Angeles, which is still under construction.
The friend said: "He wanted to do something that had meaning for both of them."
Christina was completely "shocked" by Matthew's romantic sunset proposal, for which he wore a suit and filled a gazebo with candles and red roses, before taking her to celebrate with friends and family.

Matthew McConaughey's wife has revealed he isn't romantic at home.
The 44-year-old actor starred in a string of romantic comedies, including 'Failure to Launch' and 'The Wedding Planner' in the past, but Camila Alves sometimes wishes he was a bit more like his sweeter characters off-screen.
The 32-year-old Brazilian model was questioned about what Matthew is like in real life when she sat in the audience during his interview on 'Inside The Actor's Studio,' and told host James Lipton: "It's very funny because people see him onscreen or out there in public in a certain way, and they have this vision of him being this romantic and so passionate. Just very romantic and grabs you and kisses you. And sometimes I'm like, 'Who is this guy? Can you be a little bit of that?' "
Pointing at the screen, she added: "Sometimes I'm like, 'Can we bring that guy home for a little bit?' "
Asked if his wife, with whom he has sons Levi, five, Livingston, 13 months, and daughter Vida, four, was telling the truth, Matthew said: "Absolutely."
But the 'Dallas Buyers Club' star also admitted he fell in to love with Camilla at first sight when they met in a bar on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.
He said: "I didn't say, 'Who is that?' I said, 'What is that?' I was like, 'Woo-ha! Wow!' "

Liam Neeson is still grieving the loss of Natasha Richardson.
The 'Non-Stop' star, whose actress wife of 15 years died following a skiing accident in Montreal, Canada in March 2009, says her death still doesn't feel real and he often expects to hear her voice when his front door opens.
The 51-year-old actor told Anderson Cooper's '60 Minutes,' in a new interview that will air on Sunday (23.02.14): "[Her death] was never real. It still kind of isn't. There's periods now in our New York residence when I hear the door opening, especially the first couple of years . . . anytime I hear that door opening, I still think I'm going to hear her."
He added: "It (grief) hits you. It's like a wave. You just get this profound feeling of instability . . . the Earth isn't stable anymore and then it passes and it becomes more infrequent, but I still get it sometimes."
The 'Taken' star and Natasha, who have two sons, Michael, 19, and Daniel, 18, together, also explained how he made the difficult decision to take the British actress off life support and donated her heart, kidneys and liver to three other patients in need.
Liam said: "She was on life support . . . I went in to her and I told her I loved her, said 'Sweetie, you're not coming back from this, you've banged your head.' She and I had made a pact, if any of us got into a vegetative state that we'd pull the plug . . . that was my immediate thought . . . 'Okay, these tubes have to go. She's gone.' "
The actor has been in an on/off relationship with PR executive Freya St. Johnston since 2010.

Lamar Odom wants to win back Khloe Kardashian.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' beauty served the professional basketball player divorce papers in early December, following months of rumours he cheated on her and was addicted to drugs, but the 34-year-old star hopes they will reconcile as he still loves her deeply.
Lamar, who was spotted wearing his wedding ring when he relocated to Vitoria-Gasteiz in Spain earlier this week for three months to play basketball with Laboral Kutxa, told UsMagazine.com on Friday (21.02.14): "I love my wife. She'll always be my wife, no matter what."
Asked if they could reconcile in the future, he said: "Who knows? We don't know exactly if [the divorce is going through]. Only time will tell. I hope not. But even if we were divorced, she would always be my wife."
Lamar, who has two children from a previous relationship, said that marrying Khloe, 29, in September 2009 was the one of the greatest decisions he's ever made and admitted he has a lot of regrets.
He said: "Those were some of the best years of my life. Being married and being married to a woman I decided to marry was, besides having children, the most important thing in my life."
The former LA Lakers star is currently focused on getting his career back on track.
He said: "I've got a winner mentality, the mentality of a champion."

Lily Allen writes herself strict notes to help her stick to her healthy diet.
The 28-year-old singer, who has daughters, Ethel, two, and 14-month-old Marnie with husband Sam Cooper, loves her post-pregnancy body and is eager to maintain her recent weight-loss by avoiding junk food.
A source close to the 'Hard Out Here' hitmaker said she leaves photographs of her at her heaviest weight and post-it notes with the word 'STOP' around her house to help her avoid temptation.
She also makes sure to have plenty of fruit, vegetables and fish close to hand, and is very careful with her portion sizes.
The insider told Yahoo! Celebrity: "Before Lily's biggest problem was portion size - but now she has cut down on those dramatically.
"Now she stops long before she's full and she has learnt to enjoy salads and vegetables instead of craving bread and cheese."
Lily also recently started working out regularly and reportedly visited a hypnotist to help her change her attitude to food.
The source said: "Whereas before Lily loathed the gym she now goes five times a week and really looks forward to her workouts.
"She went to a Harley street hypnotist who changed her mind-set to stop eating when she was half full.
"Her biggest achievement has been to start loving her body now she is just keen to look even more beautiful and slender."

Pink is set to make a special appearance at the Oscars.
The 'Just Give Me a Reason' hitmaker has joined the list of performers that will take to the stage at the 86th annual ceremony in the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on March 2.
Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said in a statement: "We are very excited to welcome Pink to the Oscar stage for the very first time. She is regarded as one of the greatest voices in pop music and one of the best performers of her generation, and we are thrilled to have her join us for a highly anticipated moment on the broadcast."

The show's host Ellen DeGeneres also tweeted: "Big news! @Pink is performing at the #Oscars! I don't know what she has planned, but I'm bringing my safety net just in case."
Earlier this week it was revealed that Bette Midler would also be taking to the stage to sing at the event for the first time.
It is not yet known what song the 68-year-old 'Wind Beneath My Wings' hitmaker, who was nominated twice for Best Actress in the past, will perform at the star-studded event.
U2 and Pharrell Williams will also be performing.
The Irish rockers will sing their track 'Ordinary Love' from the film 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom,' which is nominated for best Original Song, while Pharrell will sing his nominated hit 'Happy' from the film 'Despicable Me 2.'
'Frozen' star Idina Menzel will sing 'Let It Go' from the film and Karen O will sing 'The Moon Song' from the movie 'Her', which are also both nominated in the category.

Cressida Bonas doesn't want to look like she gets her hair done professionally.
The blonde beauty - who is dating Britain's Prince Harry - is a regular at RealHair salon on Cale Street in London's Chelsea and although she pays $250 for a quick cut and blow dry, she would rather go for a low-key look.
A source told vanityfair.com: "When Cressida comes in she says 'I want it blown out, but I don't want it to look like I got it done.'"
Cressida is "pretty laid back" about her style and prefers to embrace a casual look.
A source added: "Cressida is all about low maintenance and looking stylish with minimal effort.
"She likes to be low-key and she is pretty laid back when it comes to her appearance. Kate is meticulous about her hair and makeup, but Cressida just sticks on a beanie hat and maybe a bit of lip balm."
Her relationship with Harry seems to be going well since the young royal is believed to have given her free-rein of Buckingham Palace by allowing her to enter the palace grounds without being searched.
A source previously said: "Cressida has been staying with Harry pretty much every night for the last few weeks. So Harry felt it was sensible that she got the security clearance to come and go as she pleases, instead of always having to enter with him.
"She's now on first name terms with all the security guards, and uses all three entrances to the palace."

Jessica Biel will be an "incredible" mother when she has children.
The 'Total Recall' actress married singer Justin Timberlake in November 2012 and her friend, actress Beverley Mitchell, thinks the pitter patter of tiny feet could be in her future soon.
Beverley - who is herself a new mother - said: "Jess is incredible with children. She's got such great instincts. She's so fun and goofy and kids love her. She'll be an incredible mom. No doubt, no question."
Beverley also speaks very highly of Justin, 33, describing him as a wonderful husband who makes Jessica, 31, happy.
She added to America's OK! magazine: "They're perfect for each other and they're happy, so that's all that matters."
Although they have a strong bond, Justin's grandmother, Sadie Bomar, says she worries that they spending so much time apart - with him on the road and her shooting movies - that she worries for them.
Sadie said: "They are married but they are so busy, both of them, it's hard going.
"I'm sure when it's right to have children they will, but not now.
"They do love each other dearly but they are apart so much it's going to be hard going for them."

Ellie Goulding had to revisit her childhood to beat her panic attacks.
The 27-year-old star - who this week was named Best British Female at the BRIT Awards - suffered from anxiety which prevented her from living a normal life, so she underwent Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which forced her to face her past, to tackle the issues she was facing.
She explained to LOOK magazine: "[Having the attacks] was the weirdest time of my life. Horrible things would go through my mind, but I didn't want to draw attention to myself. I got to the point where I couldn't even get into the car and go to the studio. Then I went to see an amazing woman to have CBT and she flushed everything out. It took going back to my childhood, but the attacks slowly stopped."
The 'Burn' singer - who has one brother and two sisters - was just five years old when her her dad, Arthur, walked out on her family and she and her siblings were raised by their mother Tracey.
Since the therapy, Ellie - who is reportedly dating McBusted bassist Dougie Poynter - now feels stronger than ever as a person.
She added: "My confidence has grown in the past year as a woman. I'm strong in more ways than one at the moment."
