It’s never a great idea to drive with a suspended license. In fact, it’s illegal. It is made all the worse if you’re also driving a stolen vehicle. That’s just what the Upper Darby Police Department in Delaware County reported to be the case during a recent incident in the township.
On Monday, Nov. 10, around 1:38 a.m., Upper Darby Township police were on patrol in the area of the Sunoco gas station on Marshall Road in Delaware County.
Police said they observed a white Nissan Altima with a Pennsylvania license plate to be sitting in the station’s parking lot.
After a check through the NCIC database, police said that the Nissan was reported stolen out of Bristol Township.
Police said that they then observed Brandy Nicole Weldon, 46, Upper Darby, enter the vehicle.

Police said that they activated emergency lights on the patrol car and initiated a traffic stop of the white car.
During the stop, Weldon was placed into custody and transported to Upper Darby Police Headquarters, police said.
Police said, upon further investigation, Weldon was also found to be driving while having a license suspended. Bristol Township police also confirmed that the vehicle was reported as stolen.
Weldon is charged with receiving stolen property, as well as a driving while operating privileges are suspended or revoked. Weldon was placed in Delaware County Jail after her arrest. She was released on a surety bond on $25,000 bail placed through a professional bondsman on Nov. 12.
