Vermont State Police say a 40-year-old resident of Lyndon, Leonard Kaleta, was arrested on July 14, 2026, for suspicion of DUI and on an active in-state warrant. The incident occurred on Broad Street in Lyndon, where troopers on routine patrol observed a motor vehicle violation and initiated a stop.
According to police, signs of impairment were detected during the traffic stop, prompting further investigation. Kaleta was subsequently arrested and transported to the St. Johnsbury Barracks for processing. He was issued citations to appear in both Caledonia County Superior Court and Windham County Superior Court.
Kaleta was lodged at the Northeast Correctional Complex due to a lack of $200 bail. He is scheduled to appear in court on August 3, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. and on July 15, 2026, at 12:30 p.m. for the respective charges. Court dates and times are subject to change, and individuals are advised to confirm with the criminal court clerk.
