The 36-year-old singer was charged with misdemeanour battery over a scuffle with a bouncer at Hog's Breath Saloon in Key West, Florida, in January and he says it was a wake up call for him, reported Female First.
Asked if it was a wake-up call, Carter said, "Absolutely, we are all human, we act that way sometimes.
"But for me, it's always about learning from my mistakes and learning from things that might not necessarily be mistakes and little hiccups and things that can happen in life. I'm very aware of everything going on around me and know what I have to do to the best that I can be.
It has been claimed that prosecutors will drop the charge and the offence will be wiped from his record if he completes 25 hours of community service within the next six months.
The "I Want It That Way" hitmaker is also facing a civil lawsuit from the bouncer.
