Battle of the Leaks: Police Report on Springsteen DWI Arrest Released After Efforts to Downplay Hidden Bust of the Boss: ‘Glassy Eyes’, ‘Visibly Swaying’, ‘Refused Preliminary Breath Test’
With his handling of his DWI arrest, Bruce Springsteen is acting like a typical politician involved in a scandal instead of the truth-seeking everyman of American rock and roll that he sells himself as to the public. The story of the Boss’ bust is playing out in media leaks by sources close to Springsteen rather then Springsteen himself setting the record straight. After several sympathetic leaks from sources close to the Springsteen, the police probable cause statement has been released to the media and reportedly states the 71-year-old Springsteen claimed to have had two shots of tequila within twenty minutes, had “glassy eyes”, was “visibly swaying back and forth”, “smelt strongly of alcohol”, failed several parts of a sobriety test and refused a preliminary breath test.
