Vermont State Police say a 48-year-old man from Richford was arrested on January 13, 2026, following an ATV crash on Main Street. The incident occurred around 7:16 PM, prompting a response from troopers at the St. Albans barracks.
According to police reports, upon their arrival, officers identified the operator as Allen Locke and noted signs of impairment. He was taken into custody and subsequently charged with DUI refusal and driving with a criminally suspended license. Authorities have cited Locke for these violations.
Locke is scheduled to appear in Franklin County Court on February 9, 2026. The charges against him are allegations at this stage, and as the legal process unfolds, court dates and other details may be subject to change.
