Bruce Springsteen was arrested for DWI and reckless driving in his home state, it was revealed on Wednesday, days after he appeared in a very famous Super Bowl commercial for Jeep.
The 71-year-old “Born to Run” icon was blown up Nov. 14 at the Gateway National Recreation Area in Sandy Hook, New Jersey, a National Parks Service spokesman said.
Springsteen was charged with DWI, reckless driving and consuming alcohol in an enclosed area, the spokesman said.
“Springsteen was cooperative throughout the process,” the spokesman added.
According to TMZ, which first reported the arrest, the allegedly played Bruce has a court appointment over the next few weeks and has no prior knowledge of DWI.
The Springsteen representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The news of the bust came just days after Springsteen appeared and narrated a Super Bowl spot for Jeep, in which he implored Americans to head to the political “medium” with a spirit of unity in the midst of the recent bitter division.
