An intoxicated Allentown man, on probation for a 2013 stabbing, called Bethlehem police to report his car stolen and later learned he'd simply forgotten where he'd parked, authorities say.

John Keeney, 55, of the 1900 block of Walbert Avenue, phoned police at 3:37 p.m. Saturday to report his car stolen from the parking lot of Lowe's at 1235 Martin Court in West Bethlehem. Keeney, police say, was drunk when authorities arrived.

His car, authorities determined, was not stolen -- he'd just forgotten where he'd parked.

Keeney was on probation for a September 2013 stabbing in Allentown. Court records indicate he stabbed a roommate over an argument about cooking in the kitchen. An individual on probation is required to stay out of trouble with the law during the duration.

Police say Keeney was cited with public drunkenness and disorderly conduct.
