Bruce Springsteen DWI Dismissed, Singer Fined $540 For Taking a Drink in State Park, Will Jeep Apologize?

So much for that.

In a virtual hearing this morning, Bruce Springsteen’s DWI was dismissed. He was charged a fine of $540 for taking a drink in a state park.

As I reported first, his blood alcohol level was nothing, just 0.2, way lower than the 0.8 that would have caused concern.

The whole incident, as I said when it happened, was much ado about nothing. Bruce is born to run, these are his glory days. The cop who caused this whole brouhaha was probably looking for a little celebrity. How ridiculous.

When the judge ordered the fine, Springsteen replied, “I think I can pay that.” The judge replied, “I’m sure you can.”

Now maybe Jeep will restore Bruce’s commercial and apologize for freaking out.
