Middlebury Police Log: Woman asks for help after drinking

MIDDLEBURY — On June 19 at around 1:30 a.m. Middlebury police were called to Maple Street to assist Middlebury Regional Emergency Medical Service (MREMS) with a woman who was injured and needed help.
The woman told police that she and an acquaintance had been drinking and each had consumed five or six tall boys (cans of beer). She said they were yelling at each other and she slipped and fell, but said there was no physical fight.
The woman said she hurt her leg or ankle and could not walk, so she was transported to Porter Hospital and the other person walked.

The man told police that it hurt, and he has some swelling and pain now in his right knee. He had a picture of the vehicle and gave a description matching one of the owners of the vehicle.
