Vermont State Police say a 41-year-old Fairfax resident, Travis Sweeney, was cited for DUI refusal and criminal driving with a suspended license following a traffic stop on South Road in Fairfield early on July 7, 2026.
According to police reports, officers from the St. Albans barracks initiated the stop due to a motor vehicle violation. During the interaction, signs of impairment were observed in Sweeney. He was subsequently cited and is scheduled to appear in Franklin County court on July 28, 2026, at 8:00 AM.
The citation indicates that Sweeney is facing allegations related to driving under the influence and operating a vehicle with a suspended license. Court dates and charges may change as the case progresses.
