Vermont State Police assists with response to hazardous materials incident at South Burlington Post Office

 

SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vermont (Friday, Feb. 6, 2026) — An incident Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, at the South Burlington Post Office that initially was reported as a suspicious package turned out to have been a can of irritant spray that accidentally came open inside a USPS vehicle.

 

The incident, which prompted numerous emergency crews including the Vermont State Police Bomb Squad to respond to the White Street facility, is not suspicious.

 

The driver of the delivery truck, which was parked outside the post office, was treated and released after reporting moderate ill effects from exposure to an unknown liquid.

 

An investigation by multiple first-responder agencies determined a can of dog repellant burst or began leaking inside the USPS truck, causing irritation to the driver. Fluid from the spray can dampened several packages in the vehicle, leading to initial concern that a leaking parcel was the culprit.

 

Agencies that responded included the Vermont State Police Bomb Squad, the Vermont Hazardous Materials Response Team, the South Burlington Fire Department, and the South Burlington Police Department.

 

The incident was reported at about 12:50 p.m., and crews began to clear the scene at about 2:30 p.m. No other injuries or ill effects were reported.

 

Further questions should be directed to the U.S. Postal Service.

DATE/TIME: From 2007 to 2009

INCIDENT LOCATION: Franklin County

VIOLATION: Aggravated sexual assault

 

VICTIM: (The Vermont State Police does not release the names of victims of sexual assault or domestic violence.)

ACCUSED: Ashley Goodwin

AGE: 43

CITY, STATE OF RESIDENCE: Enosburg, VT

SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

Following an investigation that began in November 2025, the Vermont State Police on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, cited a former Franklin County teacher on charges related to sexual assault on a student in the late 2000s.

 

On Nov. 18, 2025, the Northwest Unit for Special Investigations (NUSI) received a report of a sex offense that took place from 2007-09. The allegations involved a teacher at Enosburg Middle School who had repeated sexual contact with a student who was 14 years old when the contact began. The teacher was identified as Ashley Goodwin, 43, of Enosburg.

 

The state police investigation developed probable cause to charge Goodwin, who is no longer a teacher, with aggravated sexual assault. Friday, Goodwin was processed at the state police barracks in St. Albans and released on a citation ordering her to appear for arraignment at 1 p.m. Monday, Feb. 9, 2026, in the Criminal Division of Vermont Superior Court in St. Albans.

 

No further information is available from the Vermont State Police at this time. The affidavit of probable cause will be filed with the court and made public following Goodwin’s arraignment. Questions regarding Goodwin’s employment history should be directed to school officials.
