Vermont Business Magazine The Vermont State Police Tuesday arrested 65 individuals as part of a coordinated statewide arrest warrant sweep, according to a VSP statement issued Tuesday night. All of these individuals have pending criminal charges in Superior Court (felonies and misdemeanors) and failed to uphold their court obligations which resulted in warrants being issued for their arrest.
According to the statement, troopers from all ten Vermont State Police field stations were joined by local police officers, county sheriff's, game wardens, DMV officers, and federal law enforcement to make today's coordinated arrests.In addition, one person was arrested in Enosburg for hindering the arrest of a wanted person who was found hiding in their residence. The Vermont State’s Attorney offices and Vermont Department of Corrections also assisted throughout the state.
"Individuals who commit crimes and then fail to appear in court undermine our criminal justice system and erode the quality of life in Vermont," said Public Safety Commissioner Thomas D. Anderson. "Law enforcement in Vermont will continue to ensure that those violating Vermont law cannot run or hide from justice before a Vermont court," commented Anderson.
