Vermont State Police say three individuals were involved in a drug-related incident on June 4, 2026, on Main Street in Orleans. During a traffic stop, officers cited Robert Elliot, 63, of Glover, for possession of cocaine, and Allie Duda, 39, of Morristown, for unauthorized possession of prescription drugs. Both were issued citations to appear in Orleans County Superior Court on July 28, 2026, and subsequently released.

According to the report, Troopers initially stopped a 2011 Toyota Rav 4 for a motor vehicle violation. During the stop, they identified Lucrezia Lachapelle, 52, of Lyndon, who had an active warrant for her arrest. Lachapelle was taken into custody and transported to the Northern State Correctional Facility, where she is being held on a $1,000 bail.

The charges against Elliot and Duda are allegations, and they are scheduled to appear in court later this month. Court dates and charges may change as the case progresses.

The Vermont three arrested situation continues to develop.
