Middlebury Police Log: Police cite man three times in a single day

MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury police on Tuesday, Sept. 24, arrested the same man on three separate occasions for offenses ranging from disorderly conduct to retail theft.

First, police cited Kenneth Gilbert, 49, of Middlebury for retail theft, following an investigation at the Champlain Farms store on Court Street.

Then, that evening, police again cited Gilbert for violating his conditions of release, after investigating a report of a man allegedly trying to urinate in front of a group of people — and then on a parked vehicle — behind Ilsley Library.
