Bristol Police Log: Two men cited for retail theft

BRISTOL — The Bristol Police Department made four arrests during the four-week period of Sept. 20 to Oct. 17:

On Sept. 22, Bristol police assisted Middlebury police in arresting David M. Loyer, 33, of Burlington, and Eric Loyer, 29, of Bristol, and cited them for retail theft. The pair were ordered to answer the charges in Addison Superior Court, criminal division, on Nov. 22.

On Sept. 26, Bristol police arrested a 17-year-old male juvenile for aggravated domestic assault after an incident on Main Street. The juvenile was ordered to appear in court on Sept. 27. Vermont law designates criminal defendants age 18 and younger as juveniles and authorities may keep their names secret.

And on Oct. 15, Bristol police arrested Ryan L’Heureux, 32, of Bristol, and cited him for aggravated assault, following an investigation of reported threatening behavior on North Street. L’Heureux’s court date was on Oct. 18.

Between Sept. 20 and Oct. 17, Bristol police completed 43 foot patrols, conducted 10 car patrols, and checked security at Mount Abraham Union High School 27 times, at Bristol Elementary School 28 times, and at local businesses 24 times.

Police also processed 136 fingerprint requests — most of them associated with local schools — monitored traffic during school dismissal nine times, responded to one alarm and one 911 call that turned out to be false, helped one person get into their locked vehicle and helped in the return of a lost cellphone.

Also during this period Bristol police assisted VSP four times, Bristol Rescue twice, Bristol Fire Department once, and the Windsor County State’s Attorney’s Office once.
