What's this?

Prosecutor said Springsteen's BAL didn't warrant arrest


The 71-year-old Springsteen pleaded guilty to consuming alcohol in a closed area, the Associated Press reported. He admitted to taking "two small shots of tequila" and said that he knew it was illegal to drink alcohol at Sandy Hook, located in Monmouth County, according to the AP.

The prosecutor for the U.S. Attorney's Officer said Springsteen's blood-alcohol content was so low – reportedly .02% – when he was arrested that it didn't warrant the singer being charged with drunken driving or reckless driving.

Along with the $500 fine, U.S. Magistrate Judge Anthony Mautone ordered Springsteen to pay $40 in court fees.

"I think I can pay that immediately, your honor,” Springsteen said of the penalties imposed during a virtual hearing on Wednesday. The case was heard in federal court because the popular Jersey Shore destination is on federal land. Springsteen's attorney, Mitchell Ansell, wrote in a statement that his client "is pleased with the outcome" of the court hearing.
