Former James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan has entered a not guilty plea after being charged with trespassing in a thermal area of Yellowstone National Park. The 70-year-old actor received two citations last month for alleged “foot travel in a thermal area” and a “closure violation” in November.
The incident occurred on November 1 when Brosnan reportedly entered a restricted area at Mammoth Terraces in the northern part of Yellowstone. Park rules require visitors to stay on designated boardwalks or trails in thermal areas for safety reasons, as wandering into restricted areas can be dangerous and even fatal.
The “Tomorrow Never Dies” star’s mandatory court appearance, initially set for Tuesday, has been rescheduled for February 20. Yellowstone, known for its thermal features, has seen over 20 deaths related to thermal features since 1890.
Brosnan, who portrayed James Bond and starred in the “Mamma Mia!” films, maintains his innocence. The charges could result in jail time, significant fines, and bans from the park if convicted. Representatives for Brosnan have not yet commented on the situation.
