VERGENNES — Vergennes police backed up Vermont State Police on Sunday, May 12, in a break-in at a Lake Street home in Panton that police said followed a car accident. 

According to Vergennes police, homeowners returned to their property to find a broken window and a woman sleeping in their house. Police said her vehicle apparently went off the road nearby. VSP have jurisdiction in the case, and troopers cites the woman found at the house — 40-year-old Amanda Wildasin of Vergennes — for burglary and unlawful mischief.

Also between May 6 and 12, Vergennes police conducted 14 patrols by cruiser and four on foot, 12 traffic stops and two VIN inspections; processed nine pre-employment fingerprint requests; and:
