PITTSFORD, Vt. — A 37-year-old West Rutland man has been cited on a charge of driving under the influence after a traffic stop on U.S. Route 7 in Pittsford late Friday, Vermont State Police said.

Troopers from the state police barracks in Rutland were on patrol in Pittsford when they saw a traffic violation and pulled a car over near Parker Road at about 11:26 p.m., police said.

The driver was identified as Aaron Gero of West Rutland. While speaking with Gero, troopers noticed several signs that he was impaired, according to police.

He was arrested and taken to the state police barracks in Rutland Town for processing, then released with a citation ordering him to appear in court, police said.

Gero is scheduled to be arraigned Nov. 23 in Vermont Superior Court, Rutland Criminal Division.

Police did not describe the violation that led to the stop or the signs of impairment troopers said they saw.

The charge is an allegation, and Gero is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
