Vermont State Police Trooper Jesse Dambrackas explained that just before midnight on Thursday, June 29th troopers showed up at a residence on Tarbellville Road and determined that 28-year-old Miles O'Donnell had been residing on the property, allegedly without the owner's permission.
During the investigation, police also discovered quantities of heroin and powdered cocaine among O'Donnell's belongings, Trooper Dambrackas reported.
O'Donnell was tracked down and arrested this Thursday and lodged overnight at the Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility in Rutland for lack of $25,000 bail. He is due in the Rutland Division of the Vermont Superior Court later today for arraignment on a felony charge of possession of heroin and an accompanying misdemeanor charge of possession of cocaine.
Miles O'Donnell, 28, of Springfield is facing a felony heroin and a misdemeanor cocaine charge.

Wonderful! According to the article, this gentleman was charged with two counts of drug possession. Apparently breaking and entering is no longer a crime in Vermont.
ReplyDeleteI was on a jury once where a man entered a house, without getting into the details, the law is if you don't have a No trespassing sign on your door anyone can come in.
DeleteAnd to think this town used to export high precision machinery around the world.
ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons people do what this guy has done is that Wall Street sucked Precision Valley out of town.
ReplyDeleteIf you're under 50, you don't know how good it used to be, but kids could be duffers throughout their school years and still count on getting some sort of job after they got out, one that-- if they kept their nose clean-- would be theirs for their entire working life.
Today, no business is safe. We could enact laws that would make it very expensive for cowboy capitalists to treat our economic base like a collection of trinkets, but first we have to understand that until we do, Springfield's economic situation is just going to give a number of young people a reason to escape in substance abuse.
Chuck, just to review, wall street played a minor roll. Better look to North Springfield and Boston for your reasons for failure.
ReplyDeleteLosing $140,000,000 in annual payrolls plus more in inventory and business taxes is not a minor effect for a fairly good-sized city, much less a town of 10,000. What's the North Springfield and Boston reference about?
