Man gets jail for driving stolen tractor-trailer while high on cocaine
    #14248102 - 04/06/11 03:35 PM (12 years, 9 months ago)

A New Jersey man who police say was caught driving high on cocaine in Lehigh County in a stolen tractor-trailer that contained $4,000 worth of cereal could serve nearly two years in jail.

Guillermo Pena-Balmaseda, 43, of North Bergen, N.J., was ordered Monday to serve nine to 23 months in Lehigh County Prison by Senior Judge Lawrence J. Brenner.

Pena-Balmaseda will serve four years of probation following his jail term and must pay a $1,000 fine.

Pena-Balmaseda had pleaded no contest in February to receiving stolen property, a felony, and a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence of a controlled substance. He later withdrew the plea, but re-entered it Monday before being sentenced.

According to Senior Deputy District Attorney David Mussel and a police affidavit:

A driver from Virginia parked the tractor-trailer at the Wyndham Garden Hotel Harrisburg-Hershey, where he stayed the night July 30. He awoke the next morning to find the tractor-trailer, which had American flags painted on both doors, missing. It was filled with Malt-O-Meal cereal.

State police at Hamburg used GPS to track the vehicle and called troopers at the Fogelsville barracks around 4:45 a.m. to say it was headed their way. Trooper Bernard O'Malley noticed the truck heading east on Interstate 78 in Lehigh County and he, other troopers and South Whitehall Township police stopped it near mile marker 54.

Pena-Balmaseda jumped out of the passenger side and ran up a hill to a wooded area. Officers surrounded the area and told Pena-Balmaseda to come out with his hands up. He attempted to run away, but was caught and wrestled with officers before being handcuffed.

Officers say Pena-Balmaseda's eyes appeared glossy and his pupils were dilated. They said he had what looked like cocaine around his nose.

Mussel said a blood test confirmed Pena-Balmaseda had cocaine in his system.

Pena-Balmaseda was freed the day he was arrested after posting $50,000 bail, according to court records. Pena-Balmaseda noted in court documents that he is being treated for an unspecified mental illness.
