HIGHGATE, VT. —
A Highgate arrest at the U.S. port of entry has landed a 52-year-old South Burlington woman in custody on an active warrant, the Vermont State Police say.
Police say Agnes Perry was taken into custody on May 29, 2026, at about 1:18 p.m., after U.S. Customs and Border Protection flagged the warrant for troopers at the Port of Entry in Highgate, Vermont.
What police say happened
Troopers confirmed the warrant, which police say stemmed from an allegation of false pretenses or false tokens involving $900 or less.
Perry was released on $100 bail and was directed to appear at Franklin County Criminal Court, according to police. The allegations against her have not been proven, and she is presumed innocent unless and until convicted.
