SHOREHAM, Vt. — A West Haven man was arrested Nov. 5 in Shoreham after troopers pulled his car over and found he was driving with a criminally suspended license, Vermont State Police said.

James Weston, 55, was stopped at about 3:43 p.m. near the intersection of Vermont Route 22A and Vermont Route 74 East, police said in a news release issued Friday. Troopers pulled the car over for defective equipment, according to the release, which did not describe the problem.

Police said their investigation found that Weston was driving on a public highway while his license was under a criminal suspension. He was arrested and taken to the state police barracks in New Haven to be booked.

Troopers seized the car's registration plates, and the car was towed, police said.

Weston is charged with driving with a criminally suspended license and is due to appear Dec. 28 in Addison County court, according to police. The charge is an allegation, and Weston is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.

The release did not say why his license had been suspended.
