Vermont’s Disaster Case Management Program, which helps people recover from Tropical Storm Irene, was supposed to wrap up its work at the end of August – by the 2nd year anniversary of the flood. A retired Brattleboro police officer says his instincts kicked in when he helped subdue a suspect during an attempted bank robbery. Vermont State Police report says a woman who was killed in a crash involving a school bus and police cruiser in April had a blood alcohol content of more than twice the legal limit.
