VERGENNES — Vergennes police last week dealt with an alleged case of domestic assault that also included a charge of sexual assault, and in a separate case cited another individual for a sexual assault. In both cases a third party’s call sparked police involvement.

On Sept. 2 police cited Daniel Bushey, 37, of Vergennes for domestic assault, sexual assault and resisting arrest after going to a city home in response to a call from a relative of the alleged victim.

On Sept. 6 police cited Bronson Moultroup, 29, of Vergennes for an alleged sexual assault. The case first came to police’s attention when a friend of the alleged victim called police and said she was concerned that her friend might be the victim of abuse. Police then contacted the alleged victim with intentions of discussing a relief-from-abuse order, and eventually circumstances led to the citation.

In other action between Sept. 2 and 8, Vergennes police conducted 15 patrols by cruiser and two on foot, 15 traffic stops, and a property watch; processed seven pre-employment fingerprint requests; and:
