BRISTOL — On Tuesday, March 27, Bristol police cited Eric M. Loyer, 26, for driving with a criminally suspended license and providing false information to law enforcement.
While investigating a report of erratic driving, police discovered that Loyer’s license is under criminal suspension. Loyer allegedly told police another person had been driving erratically, but police determined that he was attempting to deflect the investigation and ordered him to appear in Addison County Superior Court, criminal division, on April 23 to answer the driving with a suspended license charge.
