Police have arrested Christopher Scott Walters, 44, of Alabama for receiving stolen property, false identification to law enforcement, simple assault and criminal mischief and Autumn Rose Hall, 33, of Pennsylvania for receiving stolen property.
Police say the couple stole a motor vehicle in Alabama and then drove it to East Pine Street in Clearfield Borough. On Friday police were called to an assault in the 300 block of East Pine Street.

Through interviews with several witnesses, it was learned Walters and Hall had exited the vehicle. Its owner told police the couple was in Alabama when the vehicle was stolen July 7.

Walters and Hall were taken into custody and arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Pat Ford. Bail for Walters and Hall was set at $100,000 and $25,000, respectively.
