Irish actor and film producer Pierce Brosnan, who`s best known for playing James Bond in such memorable films as `Golden Eye` and `The World Is Not Enough`, has been slapped with a court date in Wyoming for allegedly wandering into `delicate` and dangerous protected hot springs at Yellowstone National Park, according to `Daily Mail`.

Brosnan stands accused of venturing off the permitted path and attempting to get a closer look at thermals in the Mammoth Terraces section. He has been cited twice over the alleged violations on November 1, and is scheduled to appear before US Magistrate Judge Stephanie Hambrick on January 23. Brosnan has been charged with Foot Travel in a Thermal Area and Closure Violation, according to court documents filed on Tuesday, and quoted by `Daily Mail`. The Mammoth Terraces, notes `Daily Mail`, are a popular feature in Yellowstone, constantly changing in colour and activity.
