Holyoke Police arrested a man from Springfield early Friday morning after a routine traffic stop. But to call the suspect a repeat offender would be putting it mildly.

Twenty-eight year-old Pedro Cepeda was arraigned for the 77th time Friday morning.

According to a news release from Holyoke Police Chief Anthony Scott, Cepeda was pulled over for failing to stop at a stop sign at Hamilton Street and South Bridge Street.

Cepeda was then arrested for driving without a license and the possession of heroin and marijuana. He was also wearing a bulletproof vest.

Chief Scott describes Cepeda as career criminal with several aliases and several convictions.
