MORRISTOWN — A Vermont man, accused of driving drunk with a child the car, crashed into another vehicle and two parked boats in Morristown on Thursday, Sept. 19 at about midnight, report state police.

Troopers arrested Tyrone C. Perry, 29, of North Springfield, VT, for driving while intoxicated with a child less than 16 as passenger (Leandra’s Law), an E felony.

State Police members responded to County Route 6 in the town of Morristown for the accident at approximately 12:07 a.m.  

An investigation determined a 2016 blue Subaru Impreza operated by Perry was traveling east on County Route 6 when he lost control of the vehicle going through the intersection of County Route 6 and State Highway 58, striking a parked car.  

The Subaru continued straight, striking a road sign, rolling over, striking two parked boats, and coming to rest between a shed and a garage.  

Passengers in the vehicle were a 2-year-old child and Shelby L. Poore, 31, of Ogdensburg.  

All occupants were medically evaluated at the scene and signed off on further medical treatment.

As troopers were interviewing Perry regarding the accident, Perry was showing signs of impairment.  

Troopers administered SFSTs, which Perry failed.  

He was arrested and transported to SP Ogdensburg for processing. He was arraigned in the Town of Hammond Court, where he was released on his own recognizance.
