A Stowe man is facing charges of unlawful trespass and unlawful mischief after an incident on Sunset Drive in Waterbury Center on Saturday, and a Waterbury woman was cited for retail theft and DUI at Billings Mobil on Friday, according to state police.
On Saturday at 1 p.m., state troopers responded to a call of a burglary on Sunset Drive off Route 100 in Waterbury Center. While there, a second call came in of a man attempting to steal a vehicle from a residence across the street.
Trooper John Gildea explained that Waterbury Ambulance was called to the second location where troopers located the man with ambulance staff. “Once on scene we spoke with him in the ambulance,” Gildea said.
Christopher Farrell, 38 of Stowe, was issued citations for unlawful trespass and unlawful mischief with a court appearance scheduled in Washington County Superior Court - Criminal Division on Aug. 25. The charges pertained to the initial burglary call at the home of Tyler Hoar, 28, of Waterbury, Gildea said. The resident at the second call did not seek to press charges regarding the vehicle in the second incident, he said.
Police said Farrell was transported by ambulance to Central Vermont Medical Center for a consultation with Washington County Mental Health.
On Friday, Vermont State Police said they cited a Waterbury Center woman for theft and driving under the influence at Billings Mobil.
Troopers said they responded to the gas station and convenience store on Vermont Route 100 for a report of a retail theft at 2 a.m. When they arrived, troopers met with Amanda Lilly, 41, and determined she had stolen items from the store after driving there intoxicated.
Police said Lilly was subsequently arrested and cited for driving under the influence, second offense, and retail theft. She is scheduled to appear in Washington County Superior Court on Aug. 4, according to police.
