MIDDLEBURY | A Ferrisburgh woman who was stopped by a Vermont State Police (VSP) trooper last week will now have her day in court.
On Nov. 7, at approximately 1:20 p.m., a trooper observed Virginia Gillett, 34, of Ferrisburgh, operating a vehicle on Court Street in Middlebury. Gillett was known by area police to have a suspended operator’s license in Vermont.
According to Trooper Christopher Hein of the VSP New Haven Barracks, a motor vehicle stop was conducted and the operator was identified as Gillett. A subsequent Department of Motor Vehicle inquiry confirmed Gillett’s license to operate a motor vehicle on a Vermont public highway had been criminally suspended.
“Gillett was taken into custody and transported to the New Haven Barracks for processing. Gillett was later released on a citation to appear before the Addison Superior Court Criminal Division to answer the charges on Dec. 17, at 12:30 p.m.,” according to Hein.
