Vermont State Police say a 22-year-old resident of Barre, Ned McCarthy, was cited for driving under the influence (DUI) following a traffic stop on Route 14 in Williamstown early on July 19, 2026.
According to police reports, the incident occurred shortly after midnight when officers conducted a motor vehicle stop. Upon further investigation, it was determined that McCarthy was operating the vehicle while under the influence of intoxicants. He was subsequently transported to the Berlin Barracks for processing.
McCarthy was later released with a citation to appear in Orange Superior Court – Criminal Division on July 29, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. The court date and time may be subject to change, and individuals are advised to contact the criminal court clerk for confirmation.
