MONROE -- A traffic stop Tuesday evening in Monroe led to the arrest of a man on stolen vehicle charges -- and police learned the man also was wanted by authorities in Pennsylvania.
Monroe police say Steven Nieves, 21, was charged with possession of a stolen vehicle and driving with a revoked license. He also was wanted by police in Philadelphia on fugitive charges, authorities say.
An officer pulled over a car about 7:45 p.m. Tuesday in the 200 block of Charles Street for a possible speeding offense. Police say the officer then learned that the car had been reported stolen by a 26-year-old Monroe woman.
Nieves is jailed under $30,000 bond, and police say they are arranging for possible extradition to Pennsylvania.
