Vermont State Police Log: Woman taken into custody for outstanding warrant
ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police apprehended an Addison County resident wanted on an outstanding warrant when they responded to a call for help in Caledonia County — but not without a struggle.
On April 27 at a little before 9 p.m. state police received a report of a domestic disturbance at a Ryegate home and went to check it out. Troopers learned that one of the parties allegedly involved, 35-year-old Kristine Gowdy of Granville, had a warrant for her arrest.
While attempting to take Gowdy into custody, police report that she struck a trooper, resisted arrest, and intentionally damaged a trooper’s uniform. Police also report that Gowdy had also assaulted a household member earlier in the evening.
State police did ultimately take Gowdy into custody and lodged her at the Northern State Correctional Facility. She was cited for first-degree aggravated domestic assault, assault on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest, and unlawful mischief.
