Springfield posted about the arrest himself on his official Facebook page with a photo of the Lost Hills Sheriff's Station, stating, "my home away from home. Lost Hills Sheriff Station. Arrested this am on a bench warrant. I didn't know that I was supposed appear in court a few weeks ago. It was to do with the old DUI charge and it's been cleared up and I am free to go."
"General Hospital" airs weekdays at 1 p.m. PST on Riverside affiliate KABC channel 7.
The 61-year-old was arrested back in May of 2011 on suspicion of drunk driving when he was pulled over on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu for speeding in his 1963 Corvette. At the time, the officer noted signs of intoxication and administered field sobriety tests, which Springfield apparently failed, prompting his arrest. The musician had spent that day at the 16th Annual Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at USC, promoting his book "Late, Late at Night."
In August of 2012, the singer pleaded no contest to reckless driving in a plea deal, avoiding any jail time for the incident. Apparently, however, there were still some loose ends to wrap up which Springfield found out the hard way on Friday, though he didn't indicate how the arrest took place.
