Vermont State Police Log for Feb. 6
ADDISON COUNTY — A woman who drove off the road in Monkton, and hid in a nearby unoccupied vehicle when Vermont State Police showed up this past Friday evening, netted more than a half-dozen criminal citations.
Troopers responded to Hollow Road in for a reported stolen vehicle at around 7:15 p.m. on Jan. 31. Police located the stolen vehicle off the roadway and then found and identified the operator of the vehicle, 37-year-old Sara A. Whritenour. Troopers discovered that Whritenour’s license was criminally suspended and she was required to have an ignition interlock device in any vehicle she drove.
While speaking to Whritenour, the officer observed several indicators of impairment.
Ultimately police arrested Whritenour and cited her for aggravated driving without the vehicle owner’s consent; driving under the influence, second offense; leaving the scene of an accident; driving with a criminally suspended license; failing to comply with vehicle ignition interlock restrictions; and unlawful trespass.
While searching Whritenour, the trooper found cocaine on her person, so Whritenour was also charged with possession of cocaine.
She is due to answer the charges in Addison County Superior Court, criminal division, on April 7.
In other recent activity, state police:
- On Jan. 27 at about 2:25 p.m. observed a motor vehicle violation on Route 7 near West Salisbury Road in Salisbury and pulled the car over. Police eventually cited the driver, as Pierre LaRoche, 33, of Salisbury, for driving under the influence of drugs, and for careless and negligent driving.
Troopers were assisted by Vergennes police.
- On Jan. 28 shortly before 6 p.m. stopped a car driven by Richard Bodington, 29, of Hinesburg on Route 7 in New Haven. Police cited Bodington for driving with a criminally suspended license.
