Vermont State Police Log: Goshen woman faces charges

ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police this week sorted out a case that started back in June and resulted in four serious charges against a Goshen woman.

Back on June 28 at 12:30 a.m., troopers from the New Haven barracks responded to a reported domestic disturbance at a residence on Capen Hill Road in Goshen. State police investigated and determined that 41-year-old Kristan Mason of Goshen caused bodily injury to a household member in violation of conditions of release stemming from a previous assault on the same victim.

Police said that Mason drove away from the scene with a criminally suspended license. They also determined that New York had issued an arrest warrant for Mason.

After multiple attempts to locate Mason, troopers found her and took her into custody without incident on Aug. 11.

Mason was lodged at Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility before being arraigned on charges of first degree aggravated domestic assault, violations of conditions of release, driving with a suspended license, and being a fugitive from justice.

That wasn’t the only dangerous assault case that state police dealt with recently.

On Aug. 6 at a quarter after 10  p.m. troopers responded to a reported motor vehicle complaint near Sand Road in Ferrisburgh. They allegedly found that Peter Hoehl, 46, of Shelburne used a motor vehicle to cause serious bodily injury to a household member. Hoehl was taken into custody without incident and cited for first degree aggravated domestic assault and recklessly endangering another person.

In other recent activity, state police:

  • On Aug. 5 at around 5:30 p.m. stopped a car on South Street in Bristol and cited Genevieve Dahlen, 27, of Bristol for driving with a criminally suspended license.
  • On Aug. 6 shortly after 4 p.m. a trooper on Route 116 in Bristol observed a vehicle traveling southbound at a high rate of speed while passing another vehicle. The vehicle was found to be traveling 98 mph in a posted 50 mph zone during a time of heavy commuter traffic.  Police stopped the vehicle and cited driver Jeffrey Bruckner, 69, of Warren with gross negligent driving and issued a $710 ticket for speeding.
  • On Aug. 6 at 10 minutes to 6 p.m. stopped a car on States Prison Hollow Road near Route 116 in Starksboro. Police ended up citing Matthew M. Larrabee, 23, of Hinesburg for driving under the influence.
  • On Aug. 10 shortly before half-passed 10 p.m., came across two vehicles at Sycamore Park in Bristol. After talking to a driver, they cited Gabriel Litch, 24, of Brandon for driving under the influence, second offense, and driving with a suspended license.

State police stationed at the New Haven barracks and other law enforcement agencies in Addison County this week are conducting DUI sobriety checkpoints. These checkpoints are focused on people who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Vermonters are urged to use a designated driver when necessary.
