Pierce Brosnan took a plea deal after being charged with trespassing for entering into a restricted hot spring while hiking in Yellowstone National Park last year.
The 70-year-old actor changed his not-guilty plea to guilty on Thursday, admitting to venturing into the off-limits “thermal area” at the national park, and has agreed to pay a $1,540 fine (including court fees) for going off the path, TMZ reported.
In court documents obtained by the outlet, Brosnan pled guilty to one of the two charges he was facing — for illegally hiking into the hot spring area. In exchange, the other charge was dropped.
In November, the Messenger reported that the former double-O-seven star had been cited in U.S. District Court for “foot travel in a thermal area” and for a “closure violation” at Mammoth Terrace.
