A Slatington man faces charges following a traffic stop in Tamaqua on Dec. 6.

An officer was on patrol at 2:11 a.m. when he saw a vehicle make an illegal right turn on red at the intersection of Broad and Mauch Chunk streets. The vehicle's taillights weren't working. The officer stopped the vehicle near the intersection of Mauch Chunk and Greenwood streets.

The driver identified himself as Christopher Allen Rehrig, 27, of 531 Washington St., Slatington. Rehrig admitted he doesn't have a valid driver's license and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol.

He failed field sobriety tests and was transported to the Schuylkill Medical Center in Pottsville for blood tests.

Charges are pending the results of those blood tests.
