SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:
On 08/16/2021 at approximately 2240 Hours the Vermont State Police were traveling east on States Prison Hollow Rd. in the Town of Monkton when a vehicle traveling west bound drove over the double yellow line into the east bound lane almost striking oncoming traffic. Troopers subsequently conducted a motor vehicle stop on Monkton Ridge Rd. in the Town of Monkton. Troopers identified the operator as Tommy Brace (49) of N. Ferrisburgh, VT.
While speaking with Brace, Troopers detected signs of impairment. Brace was screened for DUI and subsequently placed under arrest for suspicion of DUI #4.
During the motor vehicle stop, Troopers discovered the vehicle that Brace was operating was not equipped with an ignition interlock device, which Brace is required to have under Vermont Law.
Upon further investigation, Troopers discovered Brace was operating his vehicle at high rates of speed when he lost control of his vehicle, left the roadway and struck a fence causing damage. Brace then left the scene of the crash.
