State v. Veilleux

Defendant Donald Joseph Veilleux was convicted of operating a motor vehicle on a public highway while under the influence of intoxicating liquor in violation of 23 V.S.A. § 1201(a) (2). He appeals his conviction to this Court; we affirm.

The record of the jury trial discloses that on the evening of March 1, 1980, a deputy sheriff was patrolling the streets of Orleans Village when he observed a red Plymouth Volare motor vehicle in the yard of a gasoline service station, “backing up, going forward, backing up” as though it “might have been stuck but there wasn’t any snow in the yard,” or any ice.
