VERGENNES — Vergennes police on March 31 cited a 17-year-old for allegedly assaulting his mother in a Main Street apartment that day. 

Police allege the teen punched his mother in the eye, neck and back. He was cited for domestic assault and assault in the presence of a child. Police said he was placed into the custody of the Department for Children & Families.

The second case that same day involved an alleged juvenile assault at Vergennes Union High School that remains under investigation. Police said one female student allegedly attacked another female student from behind in a school hallway. Police on Tuesday said they were reviewing cellphone video and Porter Hospital records, while interviewing witnesses in an investigation that could soon yield a citation, most likely for simple assault.

Also between March 27 and April 2, Vergennes police conducted 17 patrols, 16 in cruisers and one on foot; conducted 10 traffic stops; responded to one false alarm; fingerprinted nine job applicants; and:

On March 28, heard an allegation that a client who had voluntarily left the Valley Vista addiction treatment program and had taken a ride home to southern Vermont with a delivery driver had allegedly been coerced into a sex act in exchange for the ride.
