Hellertown Man is Fugitive, Authorities Say

A Hellertown man is currently wanted by the Northampton County Sheriff's Department on charges of DUI and resisting arrest, according to an article published by the Express-Times, which recently profiled him as their Northampton County "Fugitive of the Week."

Pedro Luis Freytes-Ferrer, 22, was living at 338 Northampton St., Hellertown, when he was arrested by borough police following an alleged road rage incident in Upper Saucon Township last December.

In April, Freytes-Ferrer was charged with driving under the influence of a controlled substance after Freemansburg police alleged that he was under the influence of marijuana when he was stopped near the Freemansburg-Bethlehem line in late January.

Following an arraignment, he was committed to Northampton County Prison in lieu of $2,500 bail, according to an article published on Hellertown-Lower Saucon Patch at the time.

Freytes-Ferrer is 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 165 pounds and has brown eyes and black hair, according to the description published by the Express-Times.
