Bruce Springsteen was arrested months ago for a DWI in a park in his home state of New Jersey.
The incident took place in the Gateway National Recreation Area in November, a public affairs officer confirmed to Fox News Wednesday.
“On November 14, 2020, Bruce Springsteen was arrested in Gateway National Recreation Area and received three citations: DWI, driving recklessly and drinking alcohol in an enclosed area,” the statement read.
The public affairs spokesperson added that Springsteen, 71, “cooperated throughout the process.”

According to TMZ, who first reported the arrest, Springsteen is expected to appear in court in New Jersey in the coming weeks.
News of Springsteen’s arrest comes just days after the musician starred in a Super Bowl ad calling on Americans to “reunite” and find unity after a split year.
The commercial for Jeep featured the Born in the USA singer’s radio show, where he often does spoken word poetry over an ethereal music track.

“There’s a chapel in Kansas that’s right in the middle of the bottom 48,” Springsteen begins the commercial. It never closes. Everyone is more than welcome to meet here in the middle. It is no secret that lately it has been difficult to reach the middle ground between red and blue, between servant and citizen, between our freedom and our fear. “
Bruce Springsteen shared a message of unity during a commercial that aired during the 2021 Super Bowl.

He continues, “Fear has never been the best of who we are and in terms of freedom, it is not the property of just the lucky ones. It belongs to all of us. Whoever you are, wherever you come from, it is what you We need that connection. We need the center. We just need to remember that the ground we’re standing on is common ground. So we can get there. We can reach the mountaintop. Through the desert. And we’ll divide this crossing. Our light has always found its way through the darkness. And there’s hope. On the way. Up ahead. “

The singer’s call for unity is somewhat in stark contrast to the language he used ahead of the 2020 presidential election, clumsily saying that he would have moved to Australia had former President Trump won a second term.
Ahead of Halloween in October, the musician presented another spoken word poem on his ‘From My Home to Yours’ radio show that he shared on Twitter. In it, he called for an ‘exorcism’ in the capital, referring to the need to remove Trump and those who support him from office.
