Vermont State Police announced tonight that it had conducted a statewide sweep, arresting 65 people on warrants for a variety of pending criminal charges and failing to fulfill court obligations.

Troopers from all 10 VSP field stations were joined by local police officers, county sheriffs, game wardens, DMV officers and federal law officers in the arrests.  The Vermont State’s Attorney’s offices and Vermont Department of Corrections also assisted throughout the state.

“Individuals who commit crimes and then fail to appear in court undermine our criminal justice system and erode the quality of life in Vermont,” said Public Safety Commissioner Thomas D. Anderson.
