Pierce Brosnan Admits Guilt in Yellowstone Off-Trail Incident
TL;DR
Actor Pierce Brosnan pleaded guilty to hiking in a restricted thermal area of Yellowstone National Park and was ordered to pay a $500 fine and make a $1,000 donation to the park. The 70-year-old actor had initially entered a not-guilty plea in January but reversed it during a court hearing by phone. Another charge of violating closures and use limits was dismissed as part of the plea deal. Yellowstone National Park requires visitors to stay on boardwalks or trails in thermal areas due to the potential danger of hot springs causing serious or fatal burns.
