SHAFTSBURY, Vt. — A 21-year-old Massachusetts man was arrested early Sunday on U.S. Route 7 in Shaftsbury on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs, according to the Vermont State Police.

Troopers pulled the car over for speeding at about 1 a.m. near mile marker 17.4, police said. The driver was identified as Jayshawn T. Moore, 21, of Westfield, Massachusetts.

After investigating, troopers arrested Moore on suspicion of drugged driving, police said. He was taken to the state police barracks in Shaftsbury and then to the Wilmington Police Department for processing.

Police did not say what led troopers to suspect drug impairment or what substance may have been involved.

Moore was issued a citation and ordered to appear in Vermont Superior Court in Bennington on Jan. 11, 2027, to answer the charge. He was not jailed, police said.
