YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. -- Actor Pierce Brosnan was cited in Wyoming after allegedly walking in thermal areas of Yellowstone National Park, a court document obtained by CNN shows.

The charges against Brosnan are "Foot travel in all thermal areas and w/in Yellowstone Canyon confined to trails ... and Violating closures and use limits" and are listed as a petty offense, the docket filed in U.S. District Court in Wyoming shows.

Yellowstone's website offers tips to stay safe within the sprawling national park known for its hot springs and geysers, indicating that "Boardwalks and trails protect you and delicate thermal formations."

CNN has reached out to Brosnan's representatives for comment.
