New Jersey music icon Bruce Springsteen is facing drunken driving charges.

Springsteen was arrested Nov. 14 at Gateway National Recreation Area, according to the National Park Service. Springsteen was cited for driving while intoxicated, reckless driving and consuming alcohol in a closed area, according to a NPS statement obtained by Asbury Park Press, part of the USA TODAY Network.

The park is on a narrow, beach-ringed peninsula, with views across a bay to New York City. It is about 15 miles north of Asbury Park, New Jersey.

I must have read the original link wrong, thought it said he blew a 0.2.

Of course it was. He's famous.

It would've been dang hard to get a jury or bench conviction when he tested 0.02 which is well below the legal limit of 0.08. Had the prosecution taken it to trial the judge would've laughed them out of the courtroom.

 

[EagleFan]

Yeah, I revoke my earlier post. 0.02 is not drunk. If charges were filed for DWI or DUI, that was wrong

Of course it was. He's famous.

I think one of these days people will realize that the divide in this country isn't race, gender, political party, sexual orientation etc. The divide is between those with money and those without money.

Let's be honest; I and almost everyone on here would stop and have a drink with him if we saw him stop on his bike in a state park.
