FAIR HAVEN, Vt. — A Whitehall, New York, woman has been charged with driving under the influence of drugs and resisting arrest after a traffic stop in Fair Haven, Vermont State Police said Wednesday.

Police said a trooper pulled over a car driven by Marrisa Alexander, 32, on Prospect Street near U.S. Route 4 at about 7:45 p.m. on Oct. 15 after seeing a traffic violation. The release did not describe the violation.

While speaking with Alexander, the trooper noticed signs of impairment, according to police. She was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and briefly resisted arrest, police said. The release did not say how she resisted.

Alexander was taken to the state police barracks in Rutland for processing and was then released with a citation, police said. She is due to appear Dec. 12 in Vermont Superior Court in Rutland to answer the charges.

The charges are allegations, and Alexander is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
