The 'Jessie's Girl' rocker was taken into custody in Los Angeles on Sunday night after failing a sobriety test issued by police during a routine traffic violation stop.
TMZ reports that authorities smelled alcohol in the vehicle and administered several tests including a breathalyzer, which showed the 61-year-old's blood alcohol to be .10 - over the .08 limit set in California.
He was booked at an area jail and released without charge later that night.
Springfield was recently confirmed for a guest appearance on Hawaii Five-O, where he will play a fashion photographer named Renny for one episode.
He previously described the details surrounding his attempted suicide from when he was a teenager.
