Vermont State Police say a traffic stop on Route 15 in Jeffersonville led to the citation of a 46-year-old man on February 10, 2026. Jamel Bannister, a resident of Johnson, was pulled over at 9:09 AM for speeding and subsequently issued a citation for driving with a criminally suspended license.
According to police reports, Bannister is scheduled to appear in court on March 25, 2026, to address the charges against him. The incident was part of a larger enforcement effort by Troopers from A Troop, which encompasses the Vermont State Police barracks in Berlin, Derby, St. Albans, St. Johnsbury, and Williston.
Legal proceedings are ongoing, and the charges against Bannister remain allegations until proven in court. As the case develops, court dates and specific charges may be subject to change.
