A Hellertown man is charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle after police say he took a woman’s car keys and then her Ford Mustang following a “physical altercation” at her Front Street, Hellertown home Wednesday.

In a news release issued Monday, police said Brian Linde, 58, of Jefferson Street, “left the residence in anger” and drove the Mustang to a nearby parking lot, where he left it before walking to his mother’s home.
That’s where he was found at 4:45 a.m., still in possession of the keys to the Mustang, police said.
Linde is also charged with harassment and driving on a DUI-suspended license, the news release indicated.
In a separate news release, police said Linde was charged with possession of a small amount of marijuana in a separate incident early Saturday in the 400 block of Front Street.
