Bruce Springsteen Freed Of Drunk Driving Charges, Slapped With $500 Fine

Federal prosecutors in New Jersey dropped two drunk driving charges against music icon Bruce Springsteen on Wednesday.

Authorities arrested Springsteen in November and charged him with DWI, reckless driving, and consuming alcohol in a closed area. Prosecutors decided to drop the first two charges after tests showed Springsteen’s blood-alcohol level below legal limits at the time. The singer pleaded guilty to the third charge and paid a $500 fine, according to The Wall Street Journal.
