Bruce Springsteen pleads guilty to having two shots of tequila in Sandy Hook Park, judge leaves DUI charge

Bruce Springsteen could have been born to run after all. The legendary singer was fired on Wednesday by a judge on his charges of DWI and reckless driving after pleading guilty to the lowest charge of alcohol consumption in a public park. He was fined $ 540. “I think I can pay for this right away,” Springsteen told Federal Judge Anthony Mautone when asked if he had a schedule to pay the fine, according to the New York Daily News. “I’m sure you can,” Mautone replied.

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