Officers were familiar with the operator from prior contacts. South Burlington Police Dispatch confirmed that the operator, William
Sweeney, 29 years of age, of St. Albans had active arrest warrant.
Officers initiated a traffic stop with the vehicle on Shelburne Road. The male initially identified himself as his brother but after speaking with Officers on scene, admitted he was William. He told Police he lied because he knew he had a warrant.
