Vermont State Police say a traffic incident on January 23, 2026, at the intersection of VT Route 105 and VT Route 236 led to the arrest of a 25-year-old Sheldon resident, Journi Luten, on suspicion of driving under the influence.
According to police reports, officers from the St. Albans Barracks responded to the crash scene and noted signs of impairment during their interaction with Luten. Following this observation, Luten was taken into custody and transported to the barracks for processing. She has since been charged with DUI.
Luten is scheduled to appear in Franklin County Court on February 17, 2026, for her arraignment. It is important to note that these charges are allegations, and the court date may change as the case progresses. No injuries were reported in connection with the crash, and there is no information regarding bail or lodging at this time.
