Vermont mom busted as 5-year-old sits on alleged heroin stash By Dave Canton, The Republican Email the author on February 02, 2014 at 2:25 AM, updated February 02, 2014 at 2:27 AM WESTMINSTER,VT— A 33-year-old mom is being held in a southern Vermont jail after police accuse her of carrying a large quantity of heroin that her 5 year old sat on as the two traveled up I-91. Vermont State Trooper Ryan Wood reported that Eugenia Emerson of Springfield, Vermont, was stopped in the northbound lane of I-91 in Westminster, Vermont, at approximately 6:30 p.m. Saturday for a lane violation and reported defective equipment. During the stop, a state police K9 unit conducted and exterior scan of the car, and the dog allegedly alerted troopers to possible drugs. Emerson reportedly agreed to a search of the car, and police said they found 690 bags of heroin under the seat cushion where her child was seated. Emerson was arrested and charged with trafficking in heroin. She was ordered held in lieu of $5,000 cash bail pending a March 18 hearing in the Windham County Superior Criminal Court in Brattleboro, Vermont.
Finally!! This woman and her husband Jesse are trash! They have been having those so called "Jersey Boys" live with them in their apartment on Valley street. They also have 2 middle school kids as well. But watch and see... she will just rat on someone to get herself out of trouble just like Jesse does. And just so everyone knows, this woman isn't even this kids biological mother, just a stand-in junkie.
ReplyDelete*shakes head* there just isnt a fix for stupid is there? This name sounds familiar, has she been in trouble before?
ReplyDeleteSure has June, just got arrested for dls last week along with her husband Jesse
DeleteWhat a great mom
ReplyDeleteNot to surprising coming from Springfield vt. Wait to days and u will see her walking around just like all the 30 something ppl in the bust
ReplyDeleteJust an FYI, not ALL of the people busted are still walking around town. At least a few of them have been sentenced and are now incarcerated. Others are still released on conditions, including house arrest.
DeleteRE: 690 bags of heroin
ReplyDeleteLeast anyone doubt the extent of opiate use here in Springfield, here is proof via only one of many suppliers.
Like an Away pyramid scheme, each addict creates new users to resell to at a profit to support their habit. Becomes the epidemic of logarithmic scale we now see, and it's only going to get worse. The only effective solution is draconian sentences to get these people behind bars.
Additionally, also put landlords behind bars the refuse to enforce tenant contracts of eviction for drug possession. Drive these people from our town.
Justice truly is blind in the Vermont courts, for they refuse to see the vast social damage that their leniency and permissiveness are having on the state.
ReplyDelete"Additionally, also put landlords behind bars the refuse to enforce tenant contracts of eviction for drug possession. Drive these people from our town."
ReplyDeleteLandlords are not cops and are not courts. An arrest is not sufficient cause to evict. In order to evict "for cause", you need to file an eviction lawsuit. And guess what happens next. The tenant gets free legal aid to weasal out of it (and probably DCF pays their rent and buys them fuel oil in the meantime). And then you have to go up in front of the SAME JUDGES who keep turning this pond scum free after they get busted for drugs.
Just FYI
No reason not to put pressure on the Landlords regarding harboring known drug dealers. It can be very effective in discouraging them from renting to drug dealers, and can cause them to start vetting their tenants more carefully.
DeleteThere is a very good reason not to put pressure on landlords and its name is David Yesman.
DeleteAmen AJ. The collection of dubbers on the Selectboard could very easily institution a zoning ordinance to that effect. I have both signed and issued leases to that effect.
DeleteSuch contract puts the tenant on notice, first infraction and you're out on the street. In addition, my commercial leases hold the tenant libel for all my legal expenses defending the contract. Anyone would be a fool to challenge it.
It's all about the community we want to live in. But personally knowing most of the board members, I wont be holding my breath.
um fyi ,know it all, landlords retain the right to evict "for NO cause so don't try to feed us that crap!!
DeleteJust want everyone on here to know I used to live in the apartment next door to the Emersons and when over the last year they had those "Jersey Boys" live with them, I called the landlord GEORGE JALBERT, who lives in Watertown Conn. and told him what they were doing. He did nothing while they were blatantly selling this crap right infront of everyone in that building including the 7 KIDS that were living in the building. I also called the police and was informed that they had the right to be there, and the Emersons had a right to have anyone over for company. SO GLAD WE MOVED BEFORE ALL THIS!!!!
Delete"um fyi ,know it all, landlords retain the right to evict "for NO cause so don't try to feed us that crap!!"
DeleteSince you clearly have no clue about evictions and the process I'll post details.
First off, it is true that all landlords in VT have the right to evice for "no cause." The notice for "no cause" must be given 60 days if the tenants have lived there 2 yrs or less. In other words if you want them out by April 1, you have to give them notice by Feb 20. Then you wait to see if they move out.
If they don't then you hike up to the Woodstock Court and file your lawsuit ($150) then take your summons and drive over to the Sheriff's office, give them a deposit so they will serve the papers. The clock does not start running until the Sheriff hands the papers to the tenant or someone who lives at the apartment.
Then they have 20 days to respond in writing. If they respond then the court sets a date for trial. If they don't then the landlord can file a motion for summary judgment.
If you get a judgment it is still not over because all you get from the court is a "Writ of Possession" which gives you legal right to take back the unit. Again you drive over to Mike's Place (Windsor Country Sheriff's Office) and pay him in advance to deliver the writ. Once the writ is delivered, the tenant has 10 days to move out. If they are not out then the Sheriff will come by (this is the only thing they do for no charge) and haul them out, help you move their stuff out and watch you change the locks.
If you remove their stuff you are required to store it at your expense for 60 days to give them a chance to retrieve it. If they do not then you are allowed to dispose of it.
In Texas things are different. There the Sheriff will throw them and their crap out on the street after ten days if they are engaged in illegal actitvity and they don't charge the landlord.
Don't think that the court is in any hurry to set dates and make things go forward. And the same judges sit on the bench in Windsor County court as the ones who keep setting the dirtbags free (Like Judge Eaton).
Jean, your explanation is clear and well put. So as a landlord would it not be best to avoid the system and put more effort into whom you rent to prior to turnover the keys? Background checks, work verification, cash deposits and a second interview process before renting could help keep your rental income out of the State's pocket. But I sense most rent in Springfield is on assistance (the State will pay) or out of pure excitement of renting the space (fingers crossed). While I do feel for the landlords and their needs, they too must take more responsibility. After all, those that move into town as a renter are now part of the town. And if they are bringing baggage that too becomes part of the town, my taxes and my motivation to rethink where I'm living in the future. Thus my feeling is that a landlord is no different from a downtown business owner hiring an employee. You want someone honest, shows up and represents the business well. Here's a tip when considering renting, if someone is moving up from NJ (more than likely a young person) for work reasons, my guess is that you will not be able to contact the employer. That's called a red flag. Sounds like Texas is a good idea.
DeleteThank you for enlightening me having read that I have a much clearer understanding of the extra added effort it would entail to keep these miserable drug dealing, death dealing dealers and junkies of our streets in addition to not only destroying our community and ruin our children's but yet with your big long explanation as to why landlord's should not be held responsible for the RIFF-RAFF they are so willing ready to rent to for their own monetary gain ya know their little monthly slice of the drug trade profit to be made here in town, I still can not help but think landlord's are just as responsible for the very active drug trade here in Springfield as the drug dealer's themselves. If landlord's were made to pay closer attention to their propertie's coming's and going's so to speak and were "MADE" to inform police about any suspicious constant in's and out's of that addict's are notorious for doing the problem would work it's way out. If the drug dealer's did not have their little 1& 2 bedroom "office's" here in Springfield & were forced to sling their poison's on the street corner's like they do in the ghetto's it would be a little easier for the police here in town to catch said offender's! Stop me if I am wrong but all the new "diverse" characters we see entering our community with their quite obvious gang representation attire, & attitudes with their "bead's" and bandanas, pant's that hang half way off their waist's, their "out of state license plated visitor's", etc. would be much easier to spot! I can ASSURE you doubter's they are not coming here to start a new healthy happy hard working lifestyle for them & their families... they are here like the locust infestation's they are to destroy our community. They are here for monetary gain at the expense of our ENTIRE COMMUNITY!!And SHAME on you local's that buy their poison and are luring them all here!1 No excuses I DONT CARE IF YOUR ADDICTED GET HELP BECAUSE YOU ARE DRAGGING ALL OF THE HARD WORKING FAMILY LOVING CONTRIBUTERS TO A SAFE COMMUNITY INTO THIS HELL WITH YOU!!!!!!& EVERYONE WILL BE SORRY IN THE END WHEN THERE IS NOTHING LEFT IN SPRINGFIELD ACCEPT DRUG DEALERS< PROSTITUTES< AND HIGH CRIME! FOR GOD"S SAKE PEOPLE STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR OUR TOWN!!!!!
DeleteWELL SAID ANNOYED I DO CONCUR!
DeleteThis is our town now. Get used to it.
ReplyDeleteYes and unfortunately called the ghetto now.:(
Delete"TRUST HOMIE" WE WILL SEE ABOUT THAT!..... There is still a good enough portion of "honest hard working sober folk>> ya know real vermont loving vermonters, that love and respect vermont for the jewel in the union it is dont be mistaken kid's your all going down we will get you out of here I assure you! If need be I am certain there are some good ol' boy's, decent folk ready to banish you from our beloved home in the country!!! You think we are kidding when we say not in our town?>>>>no we mean it!!!!!!
DeleteYou all know the Governer's (Shummy's) position on this topic.
ReplyDeleteThat is to keep drug users out of prison.
Give em treatment..
There are many kinds of treatment, hum....maybe some new ones
ought to be considered.
Philip Seymour Hoffman. RIP. Probably heroin. What don't you understand?
ReplyDeleteLet's clean up the town.
ReplyDeleteThese people are killing our children.
ReplyDeleteLiterally... Just last night a 25 year old women overdosed and died. Hopefully this is the wake up call this town needed.
DeleteLiterally...That is the risk of addiction.
DeleteSounds like an illegal stop. Pulling over someone for defective equipment?....ya sure... a likely story created to pull someone over that they already knew was probably trafficking. K-9 unit used to for routine traffic stops? Not likely if ever. Good attorney will pull those cop videos that they are supposed to have running. Bet you won't see a taillight out!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are okay with this junkie trafficking all of this crap to our town not to mention while a 5 year old is sitting on enough to get the entire Valley Street high for a weekend. Maybe you should look at your life and notice you might be part of the problem.
DeleteIf the officer knew they were trafficking drugs, all the more reason to stop them for a violation, regardless of its nature. Pretext stops are legal.
DeletePulling over someone for a violation is absolutely necessary; otherwise, the case will be tossed out of court. Readers might recall the two drug dealers who were pulled over last summer because the officer recognized the driver as someone he'd had a run-in with before, but he had to let them go. They were not in violation of any law or regulation.
DeleteThe nature of car owners and drivers being what it is, almost anybody can be pulled over-- but it has to be for an infraction.
Or probable cause Chuck.
DeleteIF YOU HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT IN LIGHT OF THE FACT OF IN THE COURSE OF THE PAST THREE MAJOR HEROIN SEIZURES IN THE PAST THREE DAYS WE AS A COMMUNITY SHOULD INSTATE A NEW LOCAL LAW>>>>RANDOM STOP SEARCHES AND SEIZURES!!!I WOULDNT MIND BEING SUBJECTED< BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE RIGHT???AND IF I DID I EXPECT TO BE REPRIMANDED IMMEDIATLEY...COTERIZE THE VEIN AND PROHIBIT IT FROM GETTING INTO SPRINGFIELD....PROBLEM SOLVED < NO DRUGS>>NO DEALERS NO ADDICTS BYE BYE!
DeleteSTATE TROOPERS AND LOCALS ON EVERY SINGLE ENTRANCE INTO SPRINGFIELD AT ALL TIMES TILL WE FLUSH THESE DIRTBAGS OUT PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP!!!!
DeleteI too wouldn't mind in the least bit......the only issue is the PD doesn't have the resources and people keep voting the budget down.
DeleteWRONG... when was the last time the town budget was voted down? If ever. The PD has time to hide near the park and ride to nail speeders so maybe since they're there anyhow......
DeleteI DONT KNOW WHAT WE ARE YELLING ABOUT?!!!
DeleteI count roughly 15 different entry points to Springfield I am sure there are more especially if dealers wanted to get creative. Let's say we have a police officer at each of them for 24 hours per day 365 days per year. That would be 131,400 man hours. Now let's say the average officer with benefits included is making $30 per hour, that would cost the town of Springfield $3,942,000 and that doesn't include their car, radio, or gas AND that doesn't allow them to respond to any of the other frivolous calls that typically happen around Springfield like domestic disputes, animal issues, accidents, 8 year olds running out of school and into the woods, and so on. That sounds like a wicked good use of our resources. Springfield = MERICA.
DeleteWell, it's pretty clear that what we've been doing doesn't work: the highest incarceration rate in the world (even higher than the Soviet Union had in the days of the Gulag), and the same nab 'em-and-jail- 'em mentality we had in Prohibition-- and we know how well THAT turned out! (We gave birth to super-organized crime capable of owning entire local industries, e.g., Las Vegas, Havana…)
DeleteAnd if we keep on this course, we're simply going to repeat history. Already the Mexican and South American cartels, having done so well with drugs, are now leaving that field and going into other fields, such as shipping.
So, how can we better deal with this when we are quite aware that interdiction, imprisonment and execution don't work?
take away the child and her welfare automatically and send her to live with shumley!
ReplyDeleteYou mean Fruit Loops, Toucan Sam ??
DeleteThank you to Eugina Emerson for getting our humble town on NBC nightly news. Scum. You are an embarrassment!
