MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury police cited Ben J. Webb, 38, of Middlebury for attempted armed robbery and a variety of other infractions, stemming from investigations by multiple police agencies in Addison and Chittenden counties on Oct. 10.

Police said they received a report at 5:33 p.m. that Webb had allegedly taken off with a vehicle belonging to a family member. Webb was later located and arrested by Colchester and Essex police after having allegedly perpetrated several crimes in Colchester, Essex, Winooski, Shelburne and Williston, according to Middlebury police.

At this point, police have cited Webb with aggravated assault (four counts), attempted armed robbery, larceny from a person, aggravated operating without owner’s consent, leaving the scene of an accident (three counts), grossly negligent driving, and violation of conditions of release. Police said the case remains under investigation, with “additional charges likely.”

Unfortunately, this wasn’t the first time this past weekend that police came in contact with Webb. Middlebury police on Oct. 9 cited Webb for driving under the influence, after investigating a report of a drunken man allegedly attempting to steal a four-wheeler from a Halladay Road residence. Police said they found Webb in a field near the home and that he was taken to Porter Hospital due to his “level of intoxication.”
