Vermont State Police On November 30, 2018 the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigations began an investigation into an allegation of embezzlement by a former employee of the State of Vermont Agency of Transportation. After a lengthy investigation, it was determined that John Johnson had made several purchases for personal gain which were ultimately paid for by the State of Vermont without their knowledge at the time.
These purchases were made to various auto-parts stores with which the State of Vermont Agency of Transportation holds purchase accounts. Johnson was found to have purchased various motor vehicle parts such as tires and brake rotors/pads in a total sum of $969.55. Johnson was found to have made additional purchases, however, due to the Statute of Limitations for these offenses, Johnson was only charged in relation to five specific transactions.
Johnson later resigned his position with the State of Vermont Agency of Transportation prior to the start of the State Police’s investigation. On Thursday, August 30, 2019, the State Police issued a citation and Johnson is scheduled to appear at the Washington County Superior Court, Criminal Division on 10/10/19 at 0830 hours. At this time a mugshot is not available.
