SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

 

On September 19 2020 at approximately 0930 hours, Vermont State Police initiated a pursuit with Michael Wyler (age 34). Wyler absconded from the custody of Customs/Border Protection at the Highgate Port of Entry. The pursuit began with VSP on Route 7 in St. Albans and ended at Battery Park in Burlington. During the course of the pursuit, VSP was assisted by St. Albans City PD, Milton PD, Colchester PD, Winooski PD, Chittenden County Sheriffs, South Burlington PD and Burlington PD. Wyler was taken into custody in Battery Park in Burlington and transported to the St. Albans Barracks for processing. Due to the egregious driving and failure to stop, Wyler was charged with felony attempting to elude as well as felony Gross Negligent Operation. Also, due to swerving at participating units and almost striking someone putting out spike strips, a separate felony charge of aggravated assault is being added. VSP and US Customs and Border Patrol are working closely together as there are both Federal and State violations. After dealing with Customs and Border processing, Wyler will be lodged at the Northwest State Correctional Facility for lack of $50,000 bail.

SUMMARY OF CRASH:

 

On the above date and time Vermont State Police received a 911 call reporting a

crash at the above listed location.

 

Upon my arrival I observed both vehicles, one in the west bound lane facing east

and the other in the east bound lane facing west. Both vehicles were not

operable. The operator of the truck was not present. I was advised that the

operator of the truck left on foot.

 

Upon investigation I was able to determine that the operator of the truck was

traveling east and entered the west bound lane of travel. The truck nearly

struck one vehicle before driving head on into the Toyota Corolla. The operator

of the truck was not the registered owner of the truck.  

 

The Vermont State Police are currently investigating who the operator of the

truck was. Anyone with information about who the operator is, is encouraged to

contact the Vermont State Police Barracks in Westminster.

SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:  On September 16, 2020 at 10:48 PM a fire was reported to 911 at the Pownal Race Track on US Route 7 in the town of Pownal a short distance from the Massachusetts state line. First arriving crews noted heavy fire throughout the building that had not been occupied for several years. The fire progression was extensive and it was decided by the fire chief to only fight the fire from the exterior to prevent injury or possible death by any internal fire fighting efforts by fire personnel.

 

Due to the size of the enclosed race stands and fire progression at the once thriving race track venue the fire chief requested assistance from the following fire departments: Pownal Valley FD, Bennington FD, Bennington Rural FD, Shaftsbury FD, Arlington FD, Williamstown, MA FD, Hoosick, NY FD, Hoosick Falls, NY FD, North Hoosick Falls, NY FD, Petersburgh, NY FD, Pittstown, NY FD and Raymer Town, NY FD.

 

Once the fire became under control the Pownal Fire Chief, Keith Coon, requested assistance from the Department of Public Safety Fire and Explosion Investigation Unit to assist in determining origin and cause of the fire.

 

Members of the investigative team arrived on 09-17-2020 at 09:00 AM and met with fire personnel. Based upon the examination of the exterior and noting several areas of collapse in the roof and the damage to heavy support columns to the three story steel and concrete building it was deemed too dangerous to conduct an internal examination.

 

Information was obtained that the building was the scene of several other small fires over the summer which had been put out by the fire department as well as numerous events of vandalism and littering throughout the property. These were deemed to be young adults hanging out in the area and entering the building to vandalize the structure, skateboard and even more recently , atv riders were noted inside the structure driving around.

 

There was no power to the structure and there were no reports of any lightening last evening before the fire.
