VERGENNES — City police on Sunday cited an Addison man for driving under the influence of alcohol, an action that followed a complaint from a Main Street resident about an unwanted knock on her door. 

Cited was Larry B. Chamberlain, 58. Police allege his blood-alcohol content tested at 0.195% when he was processed at the department’s Main Street station. 

Police were called to an apartment building after being told an intoxicated male was sitting in a pickup outside after being refused entry into an apartment. Police allege Chamberlain had driven to the scene before processing him for DUI.
