ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police were called to Leicester-Whiting Road in Leicester twice on recent occasions and both times cited the same man for serious crimes.
On July 27 at a little after 5 p.m. state police received a report of a vehicle stolen from a Leicester Whiting Road home. Troopers identified the suspect as Christopher Bridgmon, 34, of Leicester. 
Later, Pittsford police and troopers from the Rutland barracks located the vehicle and attempted to stop it. Bridgmon fled in the vehicle and ultimately crashed it in Pittsford. Police cited Bridgmon for an aggravated count of driving a vehicle without the owner’s consent. 
Then on Aug. 7 at four minutes past 9 p.m. state police logged a report of an assault at a Leicester home.
After investigation, troopers determined that Bridgmon had assaulted a household member. Police said that while they were speaking with Bridgmon, he engaged in violent and tumultuous behavior.
They arrested Bridgmon and took him to the New Haven barracks, where they said he damaged state property. Police cited Bridgmon for first degree aggravated domestic assault, disorderly conduct and unlawful mischief and then lodged him at the Southern State Correctional Facility without bail. 
Vergennes police assisted troopers on scene in Leicester.
