FERRISBURGH, Vt. — A 20-year-old Jeffersonville woman was charged with driving under the influence after she refused to take a breath test following a traffic stop in Ferrisburgh on Sunday, according to Vermont State Police.

Troopers received a report of an erratic driver on U.S. Route 7 in Ferrisburgh at about 2:43 p.m., police said. They found the car and pulled it over near the intersection with Vermont Route 22A. The driver was identified as Haylei Lawrence, police said.

Troopers said they saw signs of impairment while speaking with Lawrence. After a roadside screening, she was arrested and taken to the Vergennes Police Department to be booked, police said.

There, according to police, Lawrence refused to give an evidentiary breath test. She was charged with first-offense DUI with refusal and released with a citation to appear in Addison County Superior Court, Criminal Division.

Her arraignment is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. Nov. 9, though police noted the court can change that date.

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