Springsteen was arrested under the suspicion of
driving under the influence of alcohol at a national park in New Jersey November
last year, authorities confirmed on Wednesday.
The singer, nicknamed the Boss, was apprehended November
14th in Gateway National Area and charges included driving while intoxicated,
reckless driving, and consuming alcohol in a closed area, according to the National
Park Service spokesperson Brenda Ling.
Springsteen, who is a well-known New Jersey native,
was cooperative throughout the process according to Ling.
The news about the arrest comes days after the debut
of Springsteen’s first Super Bowl commercial. In the two-minute spot for Jeep,
Springsteen says the country will again see unity and says “there’s hope on the
road up ahead.”
However, the said Super Bowl commercial has been put
on hold according to a spokesperson for the Jeep brand. “It would be
inappropriate for us to comment on the details of a matter we have only read
about and we cannot substantiate,” the spokesperson stated.
“But it’s also right that we pause our Big Game commercial
until the actual facts can be established,” said the Jeep spokesperson. “Its
message of community and unity is as relevant as ever. As is the message that
drinking and driving can never be condoned,” the spokesperson added.
