VERGENNES — Vergennes police issued two citations for driving under the influence of alcohol this past weekend.
On Saturday night, they stopped a vehicle driven by Joshua Barrett, 22, of Brandon near the intersection of Routes 7 and 22A. Police said they saw the vehicle weaving from side to side on the road. They cited Barrett for DUI and alleged his evidentiary blood-alcohol content test recorded 0.149 percent, almost twice the legal limit of 0.08.
On Sunday, they stopped a vehicle driven on Victory Street by Aaron Meyers, 32, of Ferrisburgh. Police said his roadside BAC tested over the legal limit, but that his evidentiary test came in at under the 0.08 limit, although only after a delay due to an equipment problem.
On Friday, police also looked for a drunk driver reported to be on Route 7 near Vergennes, but could not find him.
