James Bond would have never been caught venturing into an off-limit area but the actor who played the fictional spy for years, Pierce Brosnan, wasn’t quite so slick, according to court records recently filed in Wyoming home of Yellowstone National Park.
In records obtained by Law&Crime from the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming, a citation was issued to Brosnan for “foot travel in a thermal area” at the park on Nov. 1.
The Irish-born Brosnan, 70, was also cited for a “closure violation” near Mammoth Terraces, The Messenger reported.
A review of the docket in Wyoming shows he is due in court next on Jan. 23, 2024, at 11 a.m. and his appearance is mandatory.
An attorney for Brosnan could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday.
In 2016, when a man was caught walking off a boardwalk in the same area he was fined $1,000 plus a $30 court processing fee, according to a statement from the National Parks Department.
