Vermont State Police Log: Rochester man cited for assault

ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police allege that a Rochester man got drunk one day last week, drove to Granville and assaulted a person.

Police report they were called to Post Office Hill in Granville a few minutes before 6 p.m. on April 29. Troopers say they found 56-year-old Charles Jason McLoughlin and he appeared to be impaired, so they screened him. They investigated and determined that McLoughlin acted in a violent or threatening manner, knowingly causing bodily injury to another.

State police cited McLoughlin for driving under the influence, fourth offense; simple assault; and disorderly conduct.

McLoughlin wasn’t the only person to be accused by police locally of intoxicated driving.

On May 2 at around 1:21 a.m. state police responded to a car off the road on Green Street near South Middlebrook Road in Waltham.

Troopers found a vehicle off the northbound shoulder of Green Street and identified the driver as Thomas J. Blaise, 44, of Vergennes. Police report that they found cocaine in Blaise’s possession. They cited him for driving under the influence of drugs and possession of cocaine.

Middlebury police assisted state police in this case.

In a separate incident that day, at a little after 11:30 p.m. a trooper stopped a vehicle on Middlebrook Road near Wing Road in Ferrisburgh. The officer cited Keith A. Boucher, 44, of Ferrisburgh for driving under the influence, second offense.

In other activity, state police were called to a fight on Grassano Drive in Starksboro on April 28 at a few minutes before 9 p.m. Police ended up citing Ryan R. Hallett, 28, of Starksboro for domestic assault and lodged him at the Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility with bail set at $500.

Meanwhile, on April 29 state police found a Vergennes man they had been looking for. State police said that on April 19 at 1:20 a.m. they tried to stop a car on Route 7 near Stage Road in North Ferrisburgh. The driver failed to stop and continued to drive north on Route 7; troopers discontinued their chase.
