Court records indicate that the Springfield Township charge is classified as a first offense charge, and that Stimpson is scheduled to appear before District Judge Gary Gambardella for a preliminary hearing regarding that charge on Aug. 30 at 10:15 a.m.

Stimpson is also facing charges of DUI-First Offence, DUI-Highest Rate of Alcohol (BAC .16+) and several summary offenses for allegedly driving while intoxicted in Quakertown borough May 24.

According to a June 5 post on the borough’s Crimewatch website, “Stimpson was arrested for DUI after he was involved in a hit-and-run accident involving parked cars” in the first block of N. Hellertown Avenue.

A docket sheet indicates that a pre-trial conference at the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas is to be held in the Quakertown case involving Stimpson, and that the next court date for that case is Nov. 14.

In that case, Stimpson remains free on $10,000 unsecured bail, according to court records.
