Lucky for you: Since Bruce Springsteen pleaded guilty to drinking alcohol in a restricted area, he only has to pay a fine.
Musician Bruce Springsteen (71, "Born in the USA") has pleaded guilty in court. After he was arrested for drunk driving in November last year, the trial has now followed. As reported by the US television network ABC, among others, Springsteen, who had no criminal record, was able to negotiate a deal with the prosecutor.
Since the 71-year-old pleaded guilty to the offense, having reached for a bottle in a designated restricted area where alcohol is forbidden, the public prosecutor was gracious. She fined the artist $ 500 (around 410 euros). He also has to pay the $ 40 court fees. The other two charges against Springsteen, drink driving and reckless driving, were dropped.
