Vermont State Police say a 26-year-old woman from Barton was arrested early March 20 in St. Johnsbury for multiple traffic violations, including driving under the influence. Police reported that they observed her vehicle exceeding the speed limit on US Route 2, registering 95 mph in a 55 mph zone.
According to police, as they pursued the vehicle, additional infractions were noted, leading to a traffic stop. The driver, identified as Kyra Carey, was taken into custody following an investigation that indicated she was operating the vehicle under the influence of alcohol. After processing at the St. Johnsbury barracks, Carey was released on a citation.
Carey is facing charges of DUI, excessive speed, and negligent operation. Her court appearance is scheduled for April 6, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. in Caledonia County. It is important to note that these charges are allegations, and the court date and circumstances may change as the legal process unfolds.
