Vermont State Police say a single-vehicle accident on VT Route 133 in Pawlet late on December 12 resulted in the arrest of a 34-year-old local resident for suspected DUI. According to police reports, Michael Webb was driving a 2014 Ford Explorer when he failed to make a turn from Danby Pawlet Road, leaving the roadway and colliding with a house.
Upon arrival, officers noted signs of impairment and subsequently arrested Webb for Driving Under the Influence and Criminal Refusal. He was transported to the Rutland Barracks for processing and later issued a citation requiring him to appear in the Vermont Superior Court, Rutland Criminal Division on December 29, 2025, at 10:00 AM.
The investigation revealed no injuries were reported from the crash, and the vehicle sustained moderate damage. As this case progresses, the charges against Webb remain allegations, with the possibility of changes to both the charges and court dates. Police advise that court schedules can be altered at the court’s discretion.
