On November 14, an officer noted that the rocker “smelled heavily of alcohol” and “had hazy eyes,” and that a bottle of Patron tequila was “totally emptied” in the car.
According to the report, Springsteen “visibly swayed back and forth” during a field sobriety test and refused to submit to an initial breath test.
Springsteen “took 45 total steps during the walk and turn instead of the allowed 18,” the officer said.
Springsteen has been silent about the allegations. On Thursday, neither his attorney nor his publicist responded to demands for comment.
Springsteen was issued many penalties for DUI, careless driving, and drinking in an enclosed space. On an unspecified future date, he will appear virtually in court.
