FERRISBURGH, Vt. — A Ferrisburgh man riding as a passenger in a car pulled over by Vermont State Police early Tuesday was arrested on a warrant for failing to appear in court on a drunken-driving charge, police said.

Troopers pulled the car over for a traffic violation at about 12:26 a.m. on Stage Road near U.S. Route 7 in Ferrisburgh, according to state police. The passenger was identified as Kevin R. Langlais, 44, of Ferrisburgh. Police said he had an active Vermont warrant for failing to appear in court on a first-offense charge of driving under the influence.

Langlais was arrested and taken to the state police barracks in New Haven for processing. He was then taken to the Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility, where he was held for lack of $200 bail, police said.

He was scheduled to appear in Addison County Superior Court's criminal division at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to state police. Police noted that court times are subject to change.

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