CANAAN, Vt. — A 54-year-old Norton man was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after his car was found off Route 114 in Canaan early Nov. 1, Vermont State Police said.

Police identified the man as Roger Gary. State police said in a release Monday that he faces a charge listed as DUI refusal.

According to police, the U.S. Border Patrol reported a broken-down car on Route 114 in Canaan at about 2 a.m. Troopers from the Derby barracks went to the scene and found the car off the road. Police said Gary was the driver and that troopers saw signs he was impaired.

Gary was taken to the Derby barracks for processing and later released with a citation, police said. He is due in Essex County Criminal Division court on Nov. 17.

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