Vermont State Police say a 58-year-old resident of Chicopee, Massachusetts, was cited for DUI following an incident at the Interstate 91 Port of Entry in Derby Line on July 12, 2026.
According to police reports, officers from the United States Customs and Border Protection alerted state police about a driver suspected of being under the influence of alcohol. The driver, identified as Juan Pablo Molina Soto, had turned his vehicle around after passing the last Interstate exit and was attempting to return south through the port. Observations made by troopers indicated signs of impairment, leading to Molina Soto being arrested without incident for DUI. He was subsequently transported to the Vermont State Police Derby barracks for processing.
Molina Soto was released with a citation to appear in Orleans Criminal Court on July 28, 2026, at 8:00 AM for arraignment on the DUI charge. The court date and time are subject to change, and individuals are advised to confirm with the court clerk.
The Vermont chicopee arrested situation continues to develop.
