Grand Isle County’s top prosecutor Douglas DiSabito was cited Tuesday for drunken driving, according to a press release from the St. Albans Police Department.
Police officers received
a call around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday alerting officers to respond to Franklin County Superior Court in St. Albans “for a report of a person in the building who may be under the influence of alcohol,” the release said.
Officers then made contact with Grand Isle State’s Attorney DiSabito and after “subsequent investigation” arrested him for driving under the influence of alcohol, the release said.
DiSabito is set to appear in court on May 4, according to the release. The court appearance is not listed on Franklin County court calendars.
The 57-year-old from Alburgh was first elected to lead the prosecutor’s office in 2014 and has won re-election without facing incumbents in every election since then, according to the Vermont Secretary of State’s website. DiSabito has said he is running again for re-election in November. Earlier this week he said he would seek both Democratic and Republican nominations, according to WCAX.
DiSabito did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
