Man Drove Stolen Car While Drunk, Police Say

Driving a stolen car can get you in trouble.

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.
