Tuesday, July 31, 2018 – At about 11:37 a.m. police received a call about a man laying down on the train tracks at Vermont Route 103, in the town of Cavendish.

Before troopers could get to the scene, the man got into his vehicle and continued south on either Vermont Route 103 or Vermont Route 131. Troopers stopped Alfonso C. Crosse, 26, of Springfield, Mass., on Route 103 in Chester and found him to be operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs.

Scanlon, 19 of Southhampton, N.Y., was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of drugs. Scanlon was released on a citation to answer the charge on Sept. 25, 2018 in Windsor County Superior Court.
