SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

 

On the above date and time, a Trooper with the Vermont State Police was at Paulin’s Gas Station in the Town of Shaftsbury when they observed Rex Lane (48) from Bennington, VT, drive northbound on VT Route 7A in a white Subaru Legacy with temporary Vermont registration. Shortly after, Troopers located the vehicle of interest, and it was known Rex had an active in-state arrest warrant for a failure to appear in a previous case in the state of Vermont. Troopers conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and confirmed the operator was Rex.

 

It was also discovered that Rex’s driver’s license was restricted to operate with an ignition interlock device (IID) inside the vehicle at all times. There was no IID inside the vehicle Rex operated, making this a criminal offense of driving license suspended.

 

Rex was arrested for an active in-state arrest warrant, and criminal driving license suspended. Rex was transported to the Shaftsbury Barracks for further processing. After processing, Rex was released with a criminal citation and transported to the Bennington County Courthouse to be seen by a Judicial Officer.
