MONTPELIER, Vt. — A 29-year-old Northfield driver was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence after a traffic stop in Montpelier early Thursday, the Vermont State Police said.

Troopers from the state police barracks in Berlin pulled over a vehicle driven by Bradford Raeside of Northfield at about 12:38 a.m., according to a state police release issued Friday. During the stop, troopers noticed signs that Raeside was impaired, police said.

Raeside was arrested, taken to the Berlin barracks to be processed and released with a citation to appear Dec. 3 in Vermont Superior Court's Washington County criminal division to answer a charge of first-offense driving under the influence. Police said Raeside was not held and no bail was set. Police noted that the court date can change.

The release did not say where in Montpelier the stop took place or why the vehicle was pulled over.

The charge is an allegation. Raeside has not been convicted and is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
