A St. Albans man allegedly flashed a handgun at a state trooper who was trying to stop him for speeding on Interstate 89 south in the town of Georgia Tuesday morning.
Dyllon Camley, 29, has been charged with reckless endangerment and careless and negligent driving and is due in court June 20. Police are working with the Franklin County State’s Attorney’s Office on the case, and said more charges could be filed.
State police said Detective Trooper Michael Mattuchio was on duty, driving an unmarked Vermont State Police Jeep Cherokee, when he spotted a black 2006 Mercedes station wagon that he paced at about 100 mph in the passing lane on I-89.
The station wagon abruptly pulled into the travel lane, and as Mattuchio pulled even with the Mercedes, the driver, later identified as Camley, displayed a handgun, according to a state police press release. Police said the handgun had a round in the firing chamber.
Mattuchio pulled behind the station wagon, activated his blue lights and stopped the Mercedes. Camley was compliant and cooperative, police said.
