VERGENNES — Vergennes police recently responded to three verbal domestic disputes on First Street, two of them involving the same couple on two consecutive days.

Police responded on Oct. 21 and 22 to the same First Street residence, one they described as the as the site of repeated verbal sparring matches. Police said that on Oct. 21 they separated the parties for the night and provided resources for a hoped-for long-term resolution.

But police returned on Oct. 22 at about 2:15 a.m. for an argument that police said centered around a charging cord, a spat during which a Subway sandwich was thrown to the ground. Police said they gave both parties involved information on how to file for relief from abuse orders, again told them to separate for the evening, and again provided them with contact information on resources that could be helpful.

Also on Oct. 22 police dealt with another domestic argument on First Street, this one that flared up at a child custody exchange at a grandparent’s home. The mother complained that her son’s father “got in her face” and “ripped papers out of her hands” during the exchange.

Police suggested to both parents that future exchanges should be held in public places, and said both parties seemed to agree. The man also admitted to being upset at the exchange because he mistook the papers meant he was being cited for something, but denied the specific accusations.
