ST. ALBANS, Vt. — A Swanton man was arrested on a federal warrant after troopers pulled over a car he was riding in on Interstate 89, Vermont State Police said Monday.

Troopers stopped the southbound car at about 8:10 p.m. Oct. 25 near mile marker 115 in the town of St. Albans, according to state police. With help from the Swanton Police Department, troopers identified one of the passengers as Jesse Sweet, 31, of Swanton, police said.

Troopers knew Sweet was wanted on an active arrest warrant from the U.S. Marshals Service, according to state police. He was arrested and taken to Northwest State Correctional Facility in St. Albans, where he was being held.

Police did not say what charge or case the warrant involves. The case will be handled in federal court, and no court date was listed.

A warrant is not a finding of guilt. Any charges against Sweet are allegations, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Police did not say whether anyone else in the car was charged.
