Pierce Brosnan‘s not caving to the federal government … fighting two charges he hiked into a restricted area at Yellowstone National Park.
The actor entered a not guilty plea for two illegal hiking charges on January 4 after he was cited for allegedly wandering into a “delicate” hot springs at the park in Wyoming.

The judge granted PB’s request to cancel his initial court appearance and set up a virtual conference for February 20.
As we previously reported … authorities cited 007 last month for allegedly going off-trail near Mammoth Hot Springs on November 1 — violating several closures.

The proof seems to be in the pics here too … Brosnan appears to have forgotten his lessons in spy secrecy, posting photos that look like they’re from the off-limits area. He was up in Wyoming filming his new Western “The Unholy Trinity.”

The hot springs are off-limits to tourists for a reason … they’re super fragile and can take years to correct if damaged — not to mention the people who have died from falling into the boiling/acidic springs

Colin Nathaniel Scott is just one example … authorities think he dissolved in the pool waters — only slightly higher on the pH scale than stomach acid — after venturing off-trail in 2015.

If found guilty, Pierce might see a $5,000 fine … or even six months of hard time.
James Bond might have a license to kill, but even he’s gotta stay on the designated trails!
