VERGENES — Vergennes police dealt with a number of vehicle-related incidents between Nov. 10 and 16, including drunk driving, driving with a suspended license, two drug cases, a disabled car, a threat made by one motorist to another, and a motorist driving with illegal plates.
In that week, Vergennes police:
