Vermont State Police say a traffic stop on Interstate 89 southbound in Royalton on May 1 at approximately 9:40 PM resulted in the arrest of a 25-year-old man. Skyler Dessaint, a resident of Randolph, was stopped by troopers who observed signs of impairment during the encounter.
According to the report, after further investigation, Dessaint was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI) and for refusing to submit to a chemical test. He was transported to the Royalton Barracks for processing, where he received a citation before being released.
Dessaint is scheduled to appear in Windsor County Criminal Court on May 12, 2026, at 8:30 AM to face the charges. It is important to note that these charges are allegations at this stage, and the court date and details may change as the case progresses.
