According to police reports, an 18-year-old resident of Wolcott, August Hatch, was arrested early on March 28 in Lyndon, Vermont, after a traffic stop revealed signs of impairment. Vermont State Police conducted the stop on US Route 5 at the intersection with Red Village Road around 12:20 AM during a routine patrol.
During the encounter, officers noted several indicators that suggested Hatch was impaired, leading to his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs. He was subsequently taken to the Saint Johnsbury Barracks for processing and later issued a citation to appear in court.
Hatch is scheduled to appear in the Caledonia County Superior Court Criminal Division on May 25, 2026, at 8:30 AM. The charges against him are allegations, and it is important to note that court dates and charges may change as the case progresses.
