BRISTOL — Bristol police on Aug. 30 arrested a Vergennes man on suspicion of heroin possession connected to a big drug bust in town Aug. 29.
Police said around 9:20 a.m. that Friday morning, police observed Jonathan Bouffard, 29, in a vehicle participating in a drug transaction near the Maple Ridge Trailer Park. Bouffard did not permit police to search his vehicle, so they applied for and obtained a search warrant. Police said they found four bags of heroin in the passenger compartment of the vehicle, and subsequently cited Bouffard.
He was lodged in lieu of $5,000 bail at the Chittenden County Correctional Center, and is due in Addison County Superior Court at a later date.
