According to police reports, a 20-year-old Pownal resident, Jesse Quinn, was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence following a one-vehicle rollover crash on Middle Pownal Road. The incident occurred on January 3, 2026, around 8:25 PM, when Vermont State Police responded to the scene near Barber Pond Road.
While interviewing Quinn, officers noted signs of impairment, leading to his arrest. Quinn was processed at the Shaftsbury Barracks and later released to a sober individual. He has been cited to appear in the Vermont Superior Court, Bennington Criminal Division, on January 26, 2026, at 8:30 AM. The vehicle, a 2010 Infiniti G37, was deemed totaled, and Quinn sustained minor injuries but did not require hospitalization.
Assistance at the scene was provided by the Pownal Fire Department and Pownal Rescue Squad. The vehicle was towed by Southern Vermont Auto.
