Stephen Baldwin arrested during traffic stop

Actor Stephen Baldwin has been arrested in New York City, reports TMZ. According to law enforcement sources, Baldwin was pulled over just after 5 p.m. local time Thursday (Aug. 24) after making an illegal U-turn.

During the traffic stop, the police officers noticed Baldwin's license is suspended, so they arrested him for aggravated unlicensed operator of a motor vehicle. He is scheduled to appear in court in October for an arraignment.
