A New Jersey man is charged with felony receiving stolen property for stealing a $10,000 semi-trailer that was found during patrol in Richland Township.

Pennsylvania State Police at Dublin said, on Dec. 3, at 10:23 a.m., troopers were patrolling East Pumping Station Road, about a quarter-mile west of Richland Commerce Road, when they ran registration on a white 2024 Wabash National semi-trailer in front of them, towed by a truck tractor.

Police said the semi-trailer registration came back as stolen.

A traffic stop was conducted and the driver was identified as Clark Nelson, 30, of Clifton, police said. He was taken into custody without incident, police said.

Nelson is free on $10,000 unsecured bail and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Dec. 19 at 12:30 p.m. before Magisterial District Judge Lisa Gaier.
