Vergennes Police Log: Threats land a Bristol man under arrest

VERGENNES — Vergennes police on May 26 arrested a Bristol man and cited him for violating the terms of a relief-from-abuse order by allegedly making a series of phone and text threats to a Vergennes woman.
Vergennes and Vermont State police together arrested Timothy A. Cousino, 34, after the woman, whom they described as an ex-girlfriend, provided evidence that Monday at the city police station.
Police allege that Cousino threatened to burn the victim’s residence down with her inside, to do harm to another man, and to kill any police officers who tried to interfere. He was lodged without bail at the Chittenden County Correctional Center.
During a busy seven days between May 26 and June 1 in which Vergennes police also participated in Click It or Ticket details in Vergennes, Salisbury, Shoreham, Orwell and New Haven, they also:
•  On May 26 calmed an arguing couple at a Second Street home. Police returned to the residence on June 1 to calm the same couple again, that time in tandem with the Vergennes Area Rescue Squad because the woman involved said she was experiencing breathing problems. She was found to be OK.

•  On May 28 helped VARS at a High Street medical call.
•  On May 29 cited a 12-year-old Vergennes Union Elementary School student into family court for operating his mother’s car without consent.
