According to police reports, a traffic stop in Waterbury, Vermont, late on January 30, 2026, resulted in the arrest of 46-year-old Sydney Copp from Stowe, who is suspected of driving under the influence. Troopers from the Berlin station were on patrol when they pulled over Copp’s vehicle on Vermont Route 100 at Guptil Road.
During the stop, officers noticed signs of impairment, leading to Copp’s arrest. Following processing at the Berlin Barracks, Copp was released with a citation. She is scheduled to appear in Vermont Superior Court, Washington Criminal Division, on February 19, 2026, at 12:30 PM.
These charges remain allegations until proven in court, and the court date may be subject to change. It is advisable for individuals involved to check with the criminal court clerk for the most current information regarding court proceedings.
