Vermont State Police say a traffic stop early on January 3, 2026, on Dorr Drive in Rutland City led to the arrest of a 57-year-old man for driving under the influence. Troopers observed signs of impairment during the stop, prompting further investigation.
According to police reports, the driver, identified as Jason Kimball, was taken into custody for DUI after failing to demonstrate safe operation of the vehicle. He was processed at the Rutland Barracks, issued a criminal citation, and subsequently released. A passenger in the vehicle, 51-year-old Amy Mitchell, was also cited for possession of cocaine during the incident and released shortly thereafter.
Kimball and Mitchell are expected to appear in Rutland County Court, Criminal Division, on March 23, 2026, at 10:00 AM.
