Vermont State Police say a traffic incident on Route 7 in Georgia resulted in the arrest of a 61-year-old local resident, Todd Bushey, for suspicion of driving under the influence. The event occurred on January 27, 2026, around 9:55 AM, after police received reports of erratic driving.
According to the report, troopers contacted Bushey and noted signs of impairment. He admitted to operating the vehicle and subsequently underwent field sobriety tests. Following these screenings, police arrested him and transported him to the St. Albans Barracks for processing.
Bushey is scheduled to appear in Franklin County Court on January 28, 2026, to address the charges. These allegations are subject to change as the case progresses through the legal system. The court date and time may also be adjusted at the court’s discretion, and individuals seeking confirmation should contact the criminal court clerk.
