Pierce Brosnan, the Irish actor and film producer who portrayed the fictional superspy James Bond in four movies, pleaded guilty Thursday and was fined $500 for walking into a protected thermal area at Yellowstone National Park.
At a sentencing in Mammoth, Wyoming, U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephanie Hambrick also ordered Brosnan to pay a $1,000 community service payment to the Yellowstone Forever Geological Fund, a $30 court processing fee and a $10 special assessment.
Brosnan, 70, of Malibu, California, pleaded guilty to “foot travel in a thermal area” after he uploaded pictures to his Instagram account in November showing him standing in a thermal area at Mammoth Hot Springs.
Signs posted in the area warn visitors to stay on designated trails and to stay away from the park’s many thermal features.
