The Garden State’s most beloved son has some explaining to do. There are new reports that say Bruce Springsteen’s DUI arrest shows that the chart topper not only refused to do a breath test, but he also “smelt strongly of alcohol,” according to police documents. Springsteen was arrested at a New Jersey park late last year. Here’s what you need to know.
The ‘Born to Run’ singer was arrested at Gateway National Recreational Area in Sandy Hook, NJ on Nov. 14 and charged with DUI, reckless driving, and consuming alcohol in a closed area. He has a court date in the coming weeks and has no known prior busts for DUI.
Things Aren’t Looking Good For Bruce Springsteen
After the singer made headlines for arrest, one source close to the situation decided to clear up some rumors by sharing more information about what happened.
“When this is all resolved, I think, people are gonna have some serious doubts about the seriousness of this, especially when the actual details of this are revealed, including the blood alcohol level,” the source told CNN.
“I don’t know why they stopped him,” the source continued. “I mean technically you’re not allowed to drink in a state park and I don’t know, maybe, if a policeman sees somebody drinking and doesn’t give them a ticket, they lose their job,” the individual added. “Any kind of alcohol related driving thing is serious,” the source added.
Because the alleged offense occurred on federal land, Springsteen will face federal enclave-court Judge Anthony Mautone in Newark, likely via videoconference later this month, according to Matthew Reilly, a spokesman for the US Attorney’s Office in Newark.
This all come after Bruce Springsteen appeared in and narrated a Super Bowl spot for Jeep, in which he encouraged Americans to move toward the political “middle” in the spirit of unity amid recent bitter division. That ad has since been yanked from television.
So far Bruce Springsteen himself has not made any comments about the matter.
