Colchester man, 20, charged with DUI after traffic stop in Essex

Vermont State Police said troopers pulled the driver over at Route 15 and Browns River Road shortly after midnight Monday.

ESSEX, Vt. — A 20-year-old Colchester man was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence after Vermont State Police pulled his car over in Essex early Monday, according to the state police.

Troopers from the Williston barracks stopped the car at about 12:25 a.m. at the intersection of Route 15 and Browns River Road after seeing a moving violation, police said. The release did not describe the violation.

The driver was identified as Mark Larrabee of Colchester. Police said troopers noticed signs of impairment while speaking with him. He was arrested on suspicion of drunken or impaired driving and taken to the Williston Police Department for processing, police said.

Larrabee was released and is due in Vermont Superior Court in Chittenden County on Nov. 19 at 8:30 a.m. to answer to a charge of first-offense driving under the influence, according to police.

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