Easton police say a Palmer Township man who was stopped for driving without his headlights on had been drinking before he got behind the wheel.

Justin Rowlands, 23, of the 4000 block of Crestview Avenue, was charged Wednesday with driving while under the influence.

According to police, Rowlands was pulled over on the first block of N. Third Street at 1:57 a.m. Jan. 12 after an officer noticied his headlights were off.

Police say Rowlands failed a sobriety test and was arrested on suspicion of DUI. A blood test later confirmed Rowlands' blood-alcohol level was over the legal limit, police said.
