According to police reports, a 42-year-old woman from Groton, Vermont, was apprehended on Friday, January 30, 2026, following a police pursuit that began in New Hampshire. Vermont State Police say the incident unfolded around 12:40 p.m. when New Hampshire officers were chasing a stolen 2026 GMC truck on Interstate 93. During the chase, the suspect allegedly collided with multiple police vehicles, resulting in minor injuries to officers.
The stolen truck crossed into Vermont on I-93 and then exited onto I-91 southbound. Police say that in Barnet, troopers deployed spike strips, successfully disabling the vehicle, which subsequently left the roadway at Exit 18. Officers apprehended the driver, identified as Marisa Levesque, without further incident.
Levesque is currently in custody at the St. Johnsbury Barracks, with specific charges still pending, according to police. VSP plans to release more details as the investigation progresses. It is important to note that the charges against Levesque are allegations at this stage, and court dates may change as the case moves forward. Questions regarding the pursuit in New Hampshire should be directed to the New Hampshire State Police.
