ST. JOHNSBURY — A West Burke man was arrested late Thursday night on suspicion of driving under the influence and gross negligent operation after he was caught driving the wrong way on US-2, according to the Vermont State Police.
Marcos Lopez, 22, was taken into custody around 11:43 p.m. after troopers observed his vehicle heading eastbound in the westbound lanes near the intersection with I-91 North on-ramp.
Troopers from the St. Johnsbury Barracks conducted a traffic stop and reported signs of impairment during their interaction with Lopez.
Field sobriety tests were administered, which Lopez allegedly failed, leading to his arrest.
He was processed at the St. Johnsbury Barracks and is scheduled to appear in Caledonia County Superior Court on Nov. 25 at 12:30 p.m. to face the charges.
