According to police reports, a 23-year-old South Burlington resident, Diego Tutillofaringo, was arrested on January 17, 2026, following a single-vehicle crash on I-89 North near mile marker 89.4 in South Burlington. Troopers from the Williston Barracks responded to the scene at approximately 10:23 PM, where they observed signs of impairment while interacting with Tutillofaringo.
Police say Tutillofaringo was arrested on charges of driving under the influence and violating conditions of release, as he was prohibited from consuming alcohol and operating a vehicle. Following his arrest, he was taken to the Williston Barracks for processing and subsequently released on a citation.
Tutillofaringo is scheduled to appear in the Chittenden County Superior Court-Criminal Division on February 5, 2026, at 8:30 AM to face the allegations.
