Driving infractions keep troopers busy this week

ADDISON COUNTY — On Sunday, April 6, at approximately 4:05 p.m. Vermont State Police responded to a report of a family fight in Shoreham. Upon investigating the incident troopers said they found that the victim had been assaulted by Shoreham resident Douglas N. Campbell, 36.
Troopers took Campbell into custody and cited him to appear in Addison District Court on April 7 to answer the charge of domestic assault.
In other recent activity, troopers:
•  On April 1 at 8:45 p.m. stopped a vehicle driven by Eben Sexton, 45, of Bronx, N.Y., on Route 22A in Orwell for allegedly driving at 90 mph in a 50 mph zone. The trooper cited Sexton for speeding, driving with a criminally suspended license and careless and negligent driving.
•  On April 2 at 7:30 a.m. responded to a one-car crash on James Road in Weybridge. The driver, identified as Katherine Heitkamp, 62, of Weybridge, told police that she hit a patch of ice on a corner and lost control. The 2006 Subaru Legacy traveled over the bank on the east side of the road and struck a tree. Heitkamp was unhurt, but the Subaru appeared to be a total loss. Police said speed did not appear to be a factor in the crash.

•  On April 6 at 2:58 a.m. responded to a 911 call in Leicester reporting a shooting on Lake Dunmore Road. After a standoff with police in which two troopers were shot, though neither suffered life-threatening injuries, troopers arrested Timothy Foley, 47, of Leicester. He was charged with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of aggravated attempted murder. See a full story in the A section of this edition.
