WATERBURY, Vt. — Vermont State Police cited a 44-year-old man on a charge of unlawful trespass after troopers found him living in the woods near the Exit 10 on-ramp at Route 100 in Waterbury, police said.

Troopers went to the wooded area shortly after noon and found that Derrick Dupont had been staying there even though he had been served a notice against trespass for the location, according to the state police Berlin barracks.

Police listed Dupont's address as "transient." He was issued a citation and told to remove all debris from the site, police said. He was not jailed, and no bail was set.

Dupont is due to appear Dec. 3 in Washington County Superior Court's criminal division.

The charge is an allegation, and Dupont is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
