SUMMARY OF CRASH:

 

On the above date and time, the Vermont State Police Derby barracks received multiple 911 calls of a dispute between multiple individuals, and a subsequent motor vehicle crash that occurred at a residence on VT Route 14 near Mill Road in the Town of Irasburg VT.

 

Responding Troopers observed a GMC truck crashed into a parked car at the residence. The operator of the GMC was determined to be Dalton Moore, 23 of Brownington, VT, who was located at a neighboring residence. Investigation revealed that while intoxicated at a gathering at the residence, Moore left in the GMC truck on VT Route 14, driving off the roadway in multiple locations and then returned to the residence and crashed into a parked car in the driveway, a 2010 Subaru Impreza. No injuries were reported from the crash.

 

Moore was taken into custody on suspicion of DUI, and while in custody committed further violations of unlawful mischief for damaging the VSP cruiser he was secured in and disorderly conduct. Moore was transported to the Newport Police Department whose officers assisted in processing. Moore was cited to appear in Orleans Superior Court on 6/10/2025 at 8:30AM.

 

Investigation into this incident is ongoing and further charges are expected.
