BETHEL, Vt. — A Randolph man was charged with driving under the influence Wednesday after a caller reported a vehicle being driven erratically on Interstate 89, according to the Vermont State Police.

Troopers from the Royalton barracks received a call about a vehicle traveling erratically on I-89 northbound, police said. Troopers later pulled the vehicle over on Vermont Route 107 in Bethel, citing traffic violations they said they saw.

While speaking to the driver, identified as David Slayton, 43, of Randolph, troopers saw signs of impairment, police said. The release lists the offense as driving under the influence of drugs. It does not say what substance troopers suspected.

Slayton was arrested and taken to the Royalton barracks, then released with a citation to appear in Windsor County criminal court on Jan. 5, 2027, to answer the charge, according to police.

The charge is an allegation, and Slayton is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
