It comes two months after he initially pleaded not guilty to trespassing in hot springs, where acid rising from the ground can reach boiling temperatures.

A judge in Wyoming accepted his plea and ordered him to pay a fine of over $1,500 (£1,175) for the offence.

The payment will go to a non-profit tasked with preserving the park.

On Thursday, Brosnan admitted to violating federal regulations that ban foot traffic near the Mammoth Terraces hot springs.
