Bruce Springsteen faces drunk driving charge in New Jersey
Bruce Springsteen is facing
a drunken driving charge in New Jersey.
Springsteen was
arrested Nov. 14 in a part of the Gateway National Recreation Area on the New
Jersey coast, a spokesperson for the National Park Service confirmed Wednesday.
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, where Springsteen got his start as a
musician and bandleader and which was later made famous with his debut album, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.
Springsteen
received citations for driving while under the influence, reckless driving and
consuming alcohol in a closed area. The spokesperson said Springsteen was
cooperative.
