CABOT — A Marshfield man was arrested for driving under the influence after crashing his car and leaving the scene on Route 215 near the Marshfield town line.
The incident occurred April 22 at approximately 10:37 p.m., according to Vermont State Police from the Berlin Barracks.

He is scheduled to appear in Washington County Criminal Court on May 8 at 8:30 a.m. to face charges of DUI and leaving the scene of an accident.
No injuries were reported in the crash.
