Man Faces Gun, Drugs Charges After Driving 100 MPH on Route 422

Clifton Hall, 26, was allegedly traveling with a gun and drug paraphernalia.

The passenger of a vehicle pulled over on Route 422 in Limerick for traveling nearly 100 miles per hour was allegedly found in possession of drugs and a gun, according to Pennsylvania State Police.

Clifton Hall, 26, of Philadelphia, and an unknown driver were  traveling in a rented 2014 Dodge Charges westbound on Route 422 on Dec. 3 just after 10:30 a.m. when he was pulled over by the Limerick/Linfield Exit for traveling 98 mph, according to police.

Neither of the vehicle's occupants were listed as the renter or authorized drivers of the vehicle, and neither had a valid driver's license, police said.

Officers found a loaded 9mm Ruger handgun and drug paraphernalia in the vehicle, and Hall allegedly admitted it was his.

Hall was prohibited from possessing firearms due to a previous conviction, police said, and he was arrested and arraigned on drug and weapons charges.

According to court records, this is Hall's second arrest for illegally carrying a firearm; he pleaded guilty in 2007 to the charge, in connection with theft and receiving stolen property.

Hall was sent to prison in lieu of $10,000 cash bail pending a preliminary hearing.
