SUMMARY OF INCIDENT: On 06/23/21, at approximately 1836 hours, Troopers with the Vermont State Police were flagged down by a motorist who reported several individuals were arguing and fighting in the Riverbend Market parking lot in Townshend.  Upon arrival, Troopers were notified of a fleeing vehicle, operated by a female who had created a large disturbance and was suspected of being impaired.  Troopers determined the vehicle was operated by Elizabeth Dery who had an active arrest warrant for a prior DUI and a civilly suspended license.

 

Troopers located Dery traveling north on Route 30, near the Route 35 intersection in Townshend and conducted a traffic stop.  After stopping, Dery fled in the vehicle to her nearby residence and attempted to evade Troopers.  Troopers made contact with Dery as she began to enter the home on foot, placing her under arrest. Dery was processed for suspicion of DUI, disorderly conduct, attempting to elude, and resisting arrest. Dery was lodged at Southern State Correctional Facility on the outstanding warrant.

 

Troopers were unable to speak with all the of the possible victims at Riverbend Market as some had left.  Attached is a photograph of Dery's vehicle.  Anyone who witnessed her behavior during this timeframe is encouraged to contact Sgt. Ryan Wood at the Westminster Barracks, 802-722-4600.
