SUMMARY OF CRASH: On 10/16/2025 at approximately 1547 hours, the Vermont State Police were dispatched to a two-vehicle crash involving a motorcycle on VT Route 100 near Robillard Road in the Town of Stamford. Prior to arriving on scene, it was learned that the operator of the motorcycle, Conner Caron of North Adams, Massachusetts, had been pronounced deceased.

 

Preliminary investigation and witness statements indicate that vehicle #2, operated by Bolognani, was preparing to enter Vermont Route 100 from a side road connecting Robillard Road and VT Route 100. As Bolognani neared the edge of the roadway, vehicle #1 (Caron) struck the front driver's side area of vehicle #2 before being thrown from his motorcycle. Based on witness statements, it appears speed was a factor in this crash.

 

Vermont State Police were assisted on scene by the Stamford Fire Department, Northern Berkshire EMS, Vermont AOT, and Walt's Towing.

 

Investigation into this crash continues, and any additional witnesses are encouraged to contact Trooper Colin Shepley at 802-442-5421

SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

On Thursday, Oct. 16, 2025, the Vermont State Police arrested Raymond Regimbald and Mark Brown in Rutland City. Regimbald is charged with multiple counts of distribution of cocaine base, and Brown is charged with possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute and possession of fentanyl with the intent to distribute.

 

The arrests of Regimbald and Brown followed the execution of a federal search warrant at 211 Dorr Dr. in Rutland, Vermont, and an additional search warrant on a motor vehicle belonging to Mark B. Brown. This operation involved members of the Vermont Drug Task Force; the Vermont State Police’s Tactical Services Unit, Bureau of Criminal Investigations, Field Force Division, Crisis Negotiation Unit, Bomb Squad, and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Program; the Drug Enforcement Administration; the FBI; the Vermont National Guard Counterdrug Program; the Rutland City Police Department; and the Rutland Town Police Department.

 

The execution of the search warrants stemmed from a six-month investigation into the distribution of controlled substances. The investigation was conducted by detectives with the Vermont Drug Task Force, the DEA, and FBI.

 

The search of 211 Dorr Dr. yielded about 72 grams of cocaine base, 33 grams of cocaine, and 30 bags of fentanyl. The search of the motor vehicle belonging to Mark B. Brown yielded about 650 bags of fentanyl, 315 grams of cocaine and U.S. currency.

 

Regimbald and Brown were processed at the VSP Barracks in Rutland and jailed at the Northwest State Correctional Facility. Both are scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in Burlington on Friday, Oct. 17, 2025. Regimbald and Brown are being prosecuted by the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Vermont.

 

In addition to law enforcement action, the Vermont State Police Victim Services Unit, Vermont State Police Embedded Mental Health Worker, and Turning Point were on scene providing mental health, substance abuse, and support services to all subjects encountered.

SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

 

At about 4:58 p.m. Sept. 26, 2025, troopers from the VSP Royalton Barracks received a report of a crash on Happy Hollow Road in the town of Royalton, in Windsor County. Upon arriving on scene, troopers observed a vehicle that appeared to be turned over from a crash. Investigators determined two adults and three juveniles, ages 8, 13, and 15, were in the vehicle at the time of the crash.

 

A subsequent investigation determined the crash was the result of grossly negligent operation by the driver, later identified as Brian Moore, 36, of Tunbridge. On scene, Moore failed to advise police or emergency medical services personnel that children were involved in the crash and had sustained serious bodily injuries. Moore and the passenger, later identified as Sierrah Carrasco, 28, of Tunbridge, falsely advised law enforcement authorities of who the operator was.

 

Following continued investigation into this crash, troopers issued Moore and Carrasco criminal citations to answer the aforementioned charges. Moore and Carrasco are due to appear for arraignment at 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 16, 2025, in the Criminal Division of Vermont Superior Court in Woodstock.

 

No further information is available at this time. The affidavit of probable cause will be filed with the court and made public following the arraignment proceedings.
