Troubled brother Daniel Baldwin was arrested Tuesday after allegedly stealing a car. The car's owner discovered his car missing and called Onstar to report it stolen. Onstar notified police and easily tracked the vehicle down at a local motel where cops found Daniel climbing into it. Oops.
TMZ is reporting that Baldwin was taken into custody for grand theft auto, and when cops searched the motel room where Baldwin was staying they allegedly found narcotics and paraphernalia. So let's throw in some charges of possession too.
Baldwin, the less famous brother of the more famous actor Alec Baldwin, was booked at the Santa Monica jail and held on $20,000 bail.
Cops tell TMZ that the car in question, a 2003 GMC Yukon, was stolen in Orange County. The Santa Monica P.D. transferred Baldwin to the Orange County Sheriffs Department, where he was booked on grand theft auto charges.
This is the second time Baldwin has been busted in Santa Monica for drugs. Last April, Baldwin was arrested at another Santa Monica hotel after a woman called the cops claiming she had been threatened there. Cops claim when they arrived, they found cocaine on Baldwin. That case is pending.
