The L.A. County Sheriff's Department confirmed to E! News that Springfield called his wife, she brought the requisite paperwork to the station to clear up the pressing issue and he ultimately was not booked on any charge.

"My home away from home. Lost hills sheriff station," Springfield later wrote on Facebook, also posting a picture of the station. "Arrested this [a.m.] 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.

"Thought I might miss the gig tonite but I will be there and we will celebrate together. Life is not boring. XOXO."
