PRESS RELEASE
CASE#: 22SJ005062
OFFICER: Guyer
CONTACT#: (802)748-2314
DATE/TIME: 11/27/2022
LOCATION: Eastern Avenue
VIOLATION: DUI #2, Driver's License Suspended, Resisting Arrest
ACCUSED: Christopher Eastman
AGE: 38
CITY, STATE OF RESIDENCE: Lyndonville
SUMMARY OF INCIDENT: On 11/27/2022 at approximately 0143 hours, I was driving up Eastern Avenue when I heard a horn honk twice. I turned around and observed a red Ford Escape parked across from the Whiskey Den, on Eastern Avenue. The operator, later identified as Christopher Eastman, was slumped over the wheel. I got out and tapped on the window. There was no answer. I knocked multiple more times and still no answer. I opened the car door and nudged the Eastman with my flashlight. Eastman answered me with a mumble but would not answer any questions. Eastman refused to identify himself. I could smell a strong odor of alcohol emanating from the vehicle. Eastman's eyes were blood shot, and he was slurring his words. Eastman repeatedly refused to identify himself, or get out of the vehicle. We removed Eastman from the vehicle, where he again resisted to get into handcuffs. Eastman was transported to the PD and put through the Standard Field Sobriety Tests. Eastman was arrested for Suspicion of DUI and Driver's License Suspended.
