The Usual Suspects star, the youngest of the Baldwin brothers, was stopped by a police officer just before 07:00 in Sugar Hill, a district in Manhattan's Harlem neighbourhood, when he noticed an expired temporary registration sticker from Texas on the windshield of the actor's gold 2013 Ford Explorer.
sharp-eyed cop spotted an expired temporary registration sticker, issued in Texas, on the windshield of Baldwin’s gold 2013 Ford Explorer and pulled him over on Broadway near W. 156th St. about 6:45 a.m., officials said.
He was taken into custody after the policeman discovered he was also driving with a suspended licence.
A source told the New York Daily News that the 47-year-old actor was taken to the 33rd Precinct station house and released with a desk appearance ticket on the licence charge.
Further inspection revealed that the 47-year-old "Bio-Dome" actor, and brother of hot-headed hunk Alec Baldwin, had a suspended driver’s license, cops said
Stephen previously pleaded guilty to driving without a licence in 2012 after he was spotted making an illegal U-turn in the city.
He was not prosecuted but was forced to pay a $155 fine, and said at the time: "I have nothing but respect for the men and women in uniform."
It’s not the first time Baldwin has gotten into trouble with his vehicle. In 2012, he pleaded guilty to driving without a license after he made an illegal U-turn in Harlem. He paid $155 in fines and charges.
Last year, he also pleaded guilty to failing to pay three years' of state income tax and was ordered to pay $400 000 in back taxes, interest and fees.
Speaking outside a court in March 2013, he said: "Unfortunately, I got some really bad suggestions and advice ... from lawyers and accountants. I'm just grateful for the opportunity to rectify this situation."
