Driving while under the influence can get you in trouble.
Easton police say 36-year-old Alhakeem Hamilton did both.
That's according to the Express-Times, which says Hamilton was stopped Sunday night on the city's South Side driving a car that belonged to someone else.
Court records show Hamilton was charged with receiving stolen property, driving while under the influence, and driving with a suspended license, and sent to Northampton County Prison after being unable to post bail.
His record also shows a previous conviction for driving with a suspended license, as well as some pending charges for the same offense.
