The rocker’s blood-alcohol level was so low that it didn’t warrant the charges, prosecutors said, but Springsteen was fined $US500 for drinking alcohol in a national recreation area.

Prosecutors have dropped drink-driving and reckless-driving charges against Bruce Springsteen stemming from an incident in November, admitting that the rocker’s blood-alcohol level was so low that it didn’t warrant the charges.

Bruce Springsteen told the court he’d had “two small shots of tequila” when a park officer stopped him.Facing a judge and more than 100 onlookers in a video conference on Wednesday , Springsteen sat next to lawyer Mitchell Ansell and admitted he was aware it was illegal to consume alcohol at the park.

According to a probable cause document written by park police, Springsteen told a park officer he had done two shots in the previous 20 minutes but wouldn’t take a preliminary breath test before he was arrested. Mautone said on Wednesday that the preliminary test is not required, and is not admissible in court.

Not sure The Duck should be the moral arbiter of grub acts.
