Vermont State Police say a traffic stop on Interstate 91 South in Fairlee led to the arrest of a 44-year-old man on April 27, 2026. Danial Powers, a resident of Lunenburg, was stopped by troopers while on routine patrol due to several motor vehicle violations.
According to police, during the stop, Powers was found to have an outstanding in-state warrant related to a failure to appear in court. He was subsequently taken to the St. Johnsbury Barracks for processing before being transported to the Vermont Superior Court – Criminal Division for a hearing. Following the court appearance, Powers was held at the Northeast Correction Complex after failing to post a $250 bail.
Authorities note that these charges are allegations at this stage, and Powers is scheduled to appear in court again on April 27, 2026, at 1:00 PM in Caledonia. The bail amount and court date are subject to change as the legal process continues.
