A 60-year-old Waltham, Vt., man faces drunken-driving and court-violation charges after a traffic stop in Vergennes, the Vermont State Police said.

Troopers pulled a car over near the intersection of South Maple and Roberts streets in Vergennes at about 11:02 p.m. on Aug. 22 after seeing a driving violation, according to the state police. The driver was identified as David A. Ouellette, police said.

Ouellette held a restricted license that required him to drive only a vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device, and the car he was driving did not have one installed, state police said. He had also violated a court-ordered condition of release, according to the agency.

Ouellette was arrested and taken to the state police barracks in New Haven for processing, police said. He was released with a citation to appear in Addison County Superior Court, criminal division, on Oct. 5.

He is charged with driving under the influence as an ignition-interlock-restricted driver and with violating conditions of release. The charges are allegations, and Ouellette is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
