Vermont State Police say a traffic stop on May 1, 2026, in Rutland City led to the arrest of 33-year-old Samuel Hough, who is facing multiple charges, including his fifth DUI offense. Officers initiated the stop due to a traffic violation and noted several signs of impaired driving during their interaction with Hough.
According to police, Hough impeded their investigation by refusing to exit his vehicle and subsequently resisted arrest when officers attempted to remove him. He was eventually taken into custody and transported to the Rutland Barracks, where he was processed for driving under the influence. Hough was issued a criminal citation and released to a sober individual.
Hough is scheduled to appear in Rutland County Superior Court on May 18, 2026, at 10:00 AM. The charges against him are allegations, and his legal situation may evolve as the case progresses.
