HOLLYWOOD - Actor Daniel Baldwin was back behind bars on Tuesday after allegedly stealing a car.
The Accidental Hero star was arrested in Santa Monica, California, after police found him behind the wheel of a car reported stolen in Orange County, California.
According to police reports obtained by news Web site TMZ.com, police tracked the car to a motel and spotted Baldwin getting inside.
Baldwin was then arrested and charged with grand theft auto.
The actor was also booked on charges of possessing illegal drugs after police conducted a search of his motel room and allegedly found a stash of narcotics and drug paraphernalia.
This isn't the first time Baldwin has found himself in police custody--in April he was arrested at another Santa Monica hotel after police were called following a fight, in which the actor reportedly threatened a woman.
The authorities allegedly found cocaine in Baldwin's possession. That case is pending.
In July, Baldwin hit the headlines again after crashing his car into two parked cars at high speed.
Cops observed the 45-year-old, who had a suspended license, driving his rented Ford Thunderbird in excess of 80 miles-per-hour through traffic before running a red light and crashing.
Baldwin, who was examined in hospital after complaining of neck and back pains, was held for questioning but not arrested.
