Vermont State Police say a 40-year-old Braintree resident, Amanda Gilman, was cited for providing false information to law enforcement following a traffic stop in Bethel on July 15, 2026. The incident occurred around 8:49 a.m. when troopers on routine patrol observed a vehicle committing a traffic violation.
According to police, Gilman initially gave a false name and date of birth during the stop. Upon further investigation, officers identified her correctly and discovered that her driving privileges were civilly suspended. Following this, she was issued a citation to appear in Windsor County Superior Court – Criminal Division on September 29, 2026, at 8:30 a.m.
The court date is subject to change, and individuals are advised to contact the criminal court clerk for confirmation of the arraignment time.
