Bruce Springsteen DWI potentially more serious because alleged offense occurred at a national park: expert

He was arrested in November while in a park in New Jersey.

San Diego criminal defense attorney David P. Shapiro, who is not working on the Springsteen case, told Fox News that it's now a "realistic possibility." "Although the case may be heard in federal court in Newark, due to the alleged offense occurred at a national park in Sandy Hook, Mr. Springsteen can expect a sentence mirroring what he would receive if convicted in state court: a fine, potential license suspension depending on his blood alcohol content, DUI classes, and installation of an ignition interlock device on any vehicle he owns or operates. A lot will hinge on the basis for the initial detention by law enforcement and Mr. Springsteen’s blood alcohol content," Shapiro continued.
