SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. — A Burlington man has been charged with first-offense driving under the influence after troopers pulled him over on Interstate 89 in South Burlington early on Nov. 1, Vermont State Police said Monday.

Troopers were patrolling southbound I-89 near Exit 13 at about 12:40 a.m. when they saw a moving violation and pulled the car over, police said. The release did not describe the violation or the vehicle.
