Vermont State Police Log: Troopers busy with sobriety checkpoints, fire investigation

ADDISON COUNTY — During the week of March 24, Vermont State Police along with local and county law enforcement agencies are conducting sobriety checkpoints throughout Addison County.
Senior Trooper Joseph Szarejko said the purpose of the checkpoints is to identify and remove impaired drivers in an effort to reduce traffic collisions and to promote highway safety.
Meanwhile, Det. Sgt. Jeremy Hill on March 22 announced that, as the result of an investigation, state police had cited Denis White, 31, of Monkton for first-degree arson in connection with the Feb. 24 fire at his barn off White Ridge Lane in Monkton.
At the time of the fire the barn was jointly owned by White and his wife, Kaitlyn White. Several people were boarding their horses at the barn when the fire occurred, though no animals were reported injured. All the property stored at the barn was destroyed in the fire.
