NEW YORK (AFP) - Rocker Bruce Springsteen was arrested in New Jersey in November on a charge of driving while intoxicated, authorities said on Wednesday (Feb 10).
The Born To Run singer was also cited on Nov 14, 2020, for reckless driving and consuming alcohol in a closed area, in New Jersey's Gateway National Recreation Area.
"Springsteen was cooperative throughout the process," a National Park Service spokesman said.
The 71-year-old rock icon will make a court appearance in the coming weeks, according to entertainment outlet TMZ, which broke the news.
Springsteen's representative did not immediately respond to AFP request for comment.
The incident occurred a few weeks after The Boss released his 20th studio album, Letter To You - a return to the layered guitars, dramatic percussion and glockenspiel that swelled into the signature sound he coined with his E Street Band, the group he has performed with since 1972.
