BRISTOL, Vt. — A 41-year-old Bristol man was arrested on charges of driving under the influence and criminal driving without a license after troopers pulled his car over on Lower Notch Road in Bristol Sunday, the Vermont State Police said.

Troopers stopped the car at about 6:28 p.m. near the intersection with Hewitt Road after seeing a traffic violation, according to the state police. The driver was identified as Christopher G. Bostick of Bristol.

Police said Bostick did not have a valid license and had been convicted of driving without a license within the previous two years. While speaking with him, troopers saw signs that he was impaired, the state police said.

Bostick was arrested and taken to the state police barracks in New Haven for processing. He was then released with a citation to appear in Addison County Superior Court's criminal division on Nov. 16 at 12:30 p.m. to answer charges of driving under the influence, first offense, and criminal driving without a license, police said. The state police noted that court dates are subject to change.

The account comes from the state police. The charges are allegations, and Bostick is presumed innocent unless and until he is proven guilty in court.
