VERGENNES — Three Vergennes police officers on June 6 helped first subdue and then calm an upset teen who was trying to jump out of a moving car as his parents were taking him through Vergennes to a counseling facility in New York state.

The first officer on the scene helped the father restrain his 17-year-old boy briefly until more aid arrived, and eventually all three worked with the teen’s family to convince him to relax and accept the ride, police said.
