Vermont State Police Log for Mar. 10

ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police reported a domestic assault, a potential drunk driving incident and a traffic accident that closed Route 125 for a while in the past week.

Vermont State Police closed down traffic in both directions on Route 125 for a little over an hour this past Friday afternoon, March 4, due to a traffic crash. The road was closed just west of East Road (which is east of Bridport village) between 12:30 and 1:45 p.m. Police said details would be provided “as appropriate.” No details were forthcoming.

The next day, March 5, troopers received the report of a domestic disturbance on Route 7 in Salisbury just before 6 p.m.

Upon investigation, troopers determined that Guy Beck, 21, of Salisbury caused bodily injury to a domestic partner and then left the scene. Beck ultimately came to the New Haven state police barracks and was cited for domestic assault.

Troopers were assisted by Middlebury police.

Later that night, at around 3:30 a.m. on March 6, state police responded to a reported one-car crash into a telephone pole in Leicester on Route 53 between Fern Lake and Forest Dale. Police identified the driver as 21-year-old Kyriek Smith of Vergennes. While speaking with Smith, troopers detected signs of impairment so they screened Smith for driving under the influence and then arrested him for suspicion of DUI.

Smith was taken to the New Haven barracks, cited for refusing to give a DUI test sample, and released to a sober person.

Troopers were assisted on scene by Middlebury police.
