Bruce Springsteen pleads guilty to having 2 Tequila shots in Sandy Hook Park, judge drops DUI charge

Bruce Springsteen may have been born to run after all. The legendary singer had his allegations of DWI and reckless driving dismissed by a judge Wednesday after pleading guilty instead to the lesser charge of consuming alcohol in a public park. He was fined $ 540. “I think I can pay that immediately,” Springsteen told federal judge Anthony Mautone when asked if he had a timeline to pay the fine. New York Daily News“I’m sure you can,” Mautone replied.

Springsteen was arrested in November after an officer saw him take a shot of tequila in New Jersey’s Gateway National Recreation Area before boarding his motorcycle. Later, the Asbury Park-Press reported that Springsteen only blew a BAC of 0.02 – just a quarter of the state’s legal limit. He admitted to having two shots down with a group of fans.
