Bristol Police Log for Jul. 16
BRISTOL — On July 5, after a preliminary investigation of a motor vehicle and assault complaint, Bristol police arrested Chad Jerome, 29, of Bristol and cited him for aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, unlawful mischief and gross negligent driving.
The charges stemmed from an alleged incident in which Jerome, believed to have been driving a white Dodge Durango, followed a Red GMC Jimmy towing a homemade wooden trailer along West Street, Stoney Hill, Burpee Road, Monkton Road, North Street, School Street and Park Place.
Jerome was transported to the Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility in Rutland and bail was set at $5,000.
Bristol police, who were assisted at the scene by Vermont State Police and an off-duty Addison County Sheriff’s deputy, are still investigating the case and ask that anyone who witnessed the incident contact them at (802) 453-2533 or [email protected].
Between June 22 and July 5, Bristol police completed 14 foot patrols and more than one hour of car patrols in various parts of town, some of which were part of the Governor’s Highway Safety Program. Officers checked security at Mount Abraham Union High School 13 times, at Bristol Elementary School five times, and at local businesses 13 times; completed at least four fingerprint requests; and facilitated the return of two loose dogs.
