Vermont State Police say that two individuals were arrested in Bakersfield on December 5, 2025, during a routine patrol. Troopers encountered Kyrsten St. Martin, 35, of South Burlington, and Kyly Ott, 23, of Richford, at a residence on Academy Lane, both of whom were known to have active warrants for their arrest.
According to police reports, St. Martin was charged with felony forgery, while Ott faces a charge of grand larceny exceeding $900. Both suspects were taken into custody and transported to the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility. St. Martin was held on a $2,500 bail and issued a citation to appear in Chittenden County Criminal Court on December 8, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. Ott was held on a $500 bail and is scheduled to appear in Franklin County Criminal Court on the same date at 1:00 p.m.
Court proceedings will determine the next steps in this case, and the charges against St. Martin and Ott remain allegations at this time. Further legal actions may evolve as the cases progress through the judicial system.
