ADDISON COUNTY — Police have been getting a lot of phone calls from Cormick M. Cantwell, 41, of Middlebury, and they say it was too many.

On July 23, Vermont State Police, assisted by the Middlebury Police Department, cited Cantwell for disturbing the peace by use of a telephone. State police allege that from May 13 through July 23 Cantwell called and harassed both state and local police dispatchers. During this period, Cantwell called and harassed the dispatch centers a total of 334 times, police said.

In a separate case, state police reported two recent encounters with Andrew R. Malzac, 31, of Middlebury. First, on July 15 at around a quarter after 11 p.m., state police attempted to stop a car after an observed motor vehicle violation on Washington Street Extension near the intersection with Colonial Drive in Middlebury. The vehicle failed to stop despite the emergency lights and siren, increasing its speed and continuing northeast on Washington Street Extension. Troopers did not pursue the vehicle.

Police were able to identify Malzac as the driver.

Then, on July 18 at 12:50 a.m. state police stopped a car on Weybridge Road in Middlebury and identified the driver as Malzac. Troopers detected indicators of impairment, took Malzac into custody and cited him for driving under the influence and for violating court ordered conditions of release.

Because he resisted, troopers also cited Malzac for resisting arrest.

Going back to the July 15 incident, police cited Malzac for eluding police.

Troopers were assisted by members of the Middlebury Police Department.

Meanwhile, state police in the second half of July responded to two separate traffic crashes that sent people to the hospital.

All five occupants of the car were transported to the University of Vermont Medical Center for treatment of their injuries.

The car was a total loss. Traffic tickets are pending.
