POTTSTOWN — A man was arrested after the van he was driving turned out to be stolen.
Around 2:28 a.m. on March 11, borough police officers saw a white 2000 Ford E-250 parked illegally in front of The Brickhouse at 152 East High Street.
According to police, Gerardo Figueroa, 52, of Pottsville, was in the driver’s seat and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol.
When officers questioned Figueroa about the van, he was allegedly unable to give details about where it came from and who owned it, police said.
After running the registration, officers discovered the van was reported stolen from Reading.
Figueroa was charged with receiving stolen property and public drunkenness, according to court documents.
He is confined to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility in lieu of $10,000 bail. He is scheduled to appear in court again on March 24 at 8:15 a.m.
