Vermont State Police say a 63-year-old Waterbury Center resident was cited for eluding a police officer following an incident in North Bennington on June 16, 2026. The event occurred around 7:44 PM when police received reports of a suspicious vehicle, described as a dark pickup truck with a red and white star on its doors, traveling in the area.
According to the report, troopers from the Shaftsbury Barracks spotted the vehicle on Vermont Route 67 and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. However, the driver failed to comply and accelerated away from the scene. Due to safety concerns, officers did not pursue the vehicle but continued their investigation through alternative means. Shortly after, they located the truck in North Bennington and identified the driver as Deborah A. Talbot.
Talbot was processed at the Shaftsbury Barracks and later released with a citation. She is scheduled to appear in the Vermont Superior Court, Bennington Criminal Division, on July 27, 2026, at 8:30 AM. The charges against her remain allegations until proven in court, and court dates may change as the case progresses.
