VERGENNES — Vergennes police cited a Bridport man for driving under the influence of alcohol after his truck reportedly sat unmoving for more than half an hour at the intersection of South Water and School streets.
Police said they were called at about 5:15 a.m. on Saturday morning and told about a pickup that was running with its lights on at that intersection. When they arrived, they determined the operator, Randy Cameron Jr., 26, had been drinking.
Police allege Cameron’s blood-alcohol content tested at 0.145 percent, almost twice the legal limit for driving of 0.08 percent.
