007 pleads not guilty to entering restricted thermal area in Yellowstone NP
Pierce Brosnan charged with entering restricted thermal area
Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan has pleaded not guilty to entering a restricted thermal area in Montana’s Yellowstone National Park.
According to msnbc.com Brosnan was issued with two offences on 1 November related to him allegedly entering Yellowstone National Park’s restricted thermal area where highly acidic water and mud can reach temperatures of 80°C and more.
The 70-year-old was scheduled to appear in court on 23 January, reported the BBC, though a judge has granted a request for a virtual hearing on 20 February.
NBC Montana reported that Brosnan has been making a new Western, “The Unholy Trinity” at the Yellowstone Film Ranch.
While the thermal area can be dangerous to people, it is also part of a delicate ecosystem that can be easily damaged.
