ADDISON COUNTY — At about 1 a.m. this past Sunday, Jan. 27, Vermont State Police troopers from the New Haven barracks responded to a home on States Prison Hollow Road in Monkton for a report of an individual who had broken into a cow barn.
Troopers found Amanda St. Cyr, 37, of Hinesburg inside of the barn; police said she did not have the permission from the property owners to be there.
Police determined that St. Cyr had driven to the residence; while speaking with her, troopers detected several signs of impairment, so they screened her and ultimately cited her for driving under the influence (third offense), driving with a suspended license and unlawful trespass.
In other recent activity, Vermont State Police:
•  On Jan. 22 at approximately 10 minutes before 8 p.m. responded to a two-car crash on Burpee Road in Bristol. Both cars reportedly sustained substantial contact damage, but no one was injured. A 2008 Subaru Impreza apparently involved in the crash near Plank Road fled the scene. The driver of the other car, a VW bug, gave police a photo of the car that fled and troopers said they identified as Shawn Pomainville, 47, of Starksboro as the driver that had sped away. They cited her for leaving the scene of an accident.
•  On Jan. 22 at 11:20 p.m. stopped a 2008 Saturn Aura after observing an equipment violation on Route 7 in New Haven. Troopers ended up citing Edward Hannon, 60, of New Haven for driving with a criminally suspended license.

Police surmised that Adam Kuhns, 18, of Monkton was driving southbound on Route 116 lightly over the speed limit when he encountered a patch of ice and the road and failed to negotiate a curve, causing the Golf leave the road and overturn. Police issued Kuhns a ticket for driving too fast for conditions, which carries a waiver penalty of $220 and two points on car insurance.
