Vermont State Police tell us they arrested 23-year-old Caylin G. Clavier of Easthampton, MA on Saturday night following a vehicle crash.

Police say they responded near the intersection of Vermont Route 11 and Route 30 in the Town of Winhall around 10:10 p.m., when they discovered a 2004 Ford Ranger over the guardrail.

Officers made contact with the vehicle’s operator, who was identified as Clavier.

They say Clavier displayed several signs of impairment, and she was placed under arrest for suspicion of DUI. She was taken to the Manchester Police Department for processing.

She was charged with a DUI and released on a citation, said police.

In a heroic act, a Vermont man leaped into freezing waters on Friday to rescue a dog struggling in the icy Winooski River, the New York Post reports.
Chris MacRitchie, accompanied by his family in Berlin, spotted the distressed dog while going through a Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru. He quickly climbed down the embankment and entered the river to save the dog.
The courageous rescue was recorded by his son and widely shared online.

“It was one of those moments where you have to make a decision,” MacRitchie said. “I felt I was obligated to at least try to fetch this dog out of the river, as I have two dogs myself, and I would hope someone would do that for them if they were in that spot.”
The footage shows MacRitchie, dressed in a T-shirt and sweats, wading through the icy water as his wife encourages him. Despite the biting cold, his main concern was the river’s depth.
“I didn’t know if it was 20 feet or 2 feet,” he said. “When I broke through and it was waist-high, I thought, ‘OK, this isn’t that bad. Yeah, it’s cold, but I feel this is a very doable situation.’”
MacRitchie successfully pulled the shivering dog to safety, where his wife wrapped it in a sweatshirt. The dog’s owner, Morgan Cerasoli, was overwhelmed with gratitude when MacRitchie called her using the number on the dog’s tag.
Cerasoli, who had been searching for Arizona, her 7-year-old rescue mutt, since Thursday, described her reaction as emotional. “I started crying, and I told him, ‘Oh, my God, I love you,’” she said.
Now reunited with Arizona, who is recovering well, Cerasoli described the rescue as “brave, selfless, and commendable.” She added, “It’s everything we’re meant to be on this Earth.”
