Vermont State Police say a 31-year-old Swanton resident was arrested on January 12, 2026, after a report of a possible impaired driver led to the discovery of a vehicle with a stolen license plate. Police located the car at 136 St Albans Road, where they identified the driver as Timothy Cassidy.
According to police reports, Cassidy resisted arrest during the incident. He was subsequently processed for driving under the influence and possession of stolen property. Following the arrest, he was released on a citation.
Cassidy is scheduled to appear in Franklin Superior Court on March 31, 2026, to face the charges, which remain allegations at this stage. Legal proceedings may evolve, and additional charges could be filed as the case progresses.
