According to police reports, a 27-year-old man from Manhattan was arrested for suspected drug-related driving under the influence following a crash in Hinesburg. The incident occurred on February 8, 2026, around 10:07 AM at the intersection of Vermont Route 116 and Gilman Road.
Vermont State Police responded to reports of a single-vehicle accident where the driver, identified as Brian Wolf, was found unconscious in his vehicle. Upon interaction with Wolf, troopers observed signs of impairment consistent with drug use rather than alcohol. He was subsequently taken into custody on charges of DUI-drugs and transported to the Williston Barracks for processing. Following this, Wolf was held at the Northwest State Correctional Facility with a bail set at $200.
Wolf is scheduled to appear in Chittenden Court on February 9, 2026, at 8:30 AM. The charges against him are allegations, and the court date may change as the case develops. For the most current information regarding the proceedings, contacting the criminal court clerk is advised.
