VERGENNES — Vergennes police on Saturday were twice called to the Valley Vista substance use disorder treatment facility at 1 Alden Place to deal with program clients experiencing problems.

First they were called by a neighbor who reported that a client who wanted to leave the program was knocking on doors looking for a ride home. Police responded and worked with Valley Vista officials to find how to get that now-former client a ride.

Later that evening police returned to Valley Vista to help calm a client who was reported to be acting violently toward other clients.

In other action between Feb. 28 and March 6 Vergennes police conducted six patrols on foot and six by cruiser, responded to one false alarm, performed one VIN inspection, and also:
