Howard Dean's son detained in burglary

By Nathaniel Ward | June 23, 2003

Howard Dean's campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination may have hit a snag last Friday, when he announced that his son had been detained by police in connection with a burglary at a Vermont country club. Paul Dean, 17, and three friends from his high school hockey team were reportedly discovered early Friday morning at the Burlington Country Club by a police officer on routine patrol. "Children do stupid things and this is one of them," Dean said in a telephone interview with the Associated Press. Dean said his understanding was that "Paul's role was to drive the car," while his classmates burglarized the country club. An officer on patrol saw Paul and questioned him, Dean said, and the incident unraveled from there.

Cop killing suspect enters innocent plea

By Megh Duwadi | June 23, 2003

The Lebanon man suspected of killing a state trooper in Norwich pleaded innocent to all charges pressed at a court hearing Thursday: grossly negligent operation of a vehicle, leaving the scene of an accident with death resulting, attempting to elude an officer and possession of marijuana and cocaine. Lacking the $300,000 in cash bail needed to be released from prison, Eric Daley, 23, has since been incarcerated at the Southeast State Correctional Facility in Windsor, Vt., for his involvement in a fatal hit-and-run accident June 15, according to the Vermont State Police. Police believe Daley swerved his 1991 Nissan coupe into Vermont state trooper Michael Johnson in an attempt to avoid a set of tire spikes set up as a roadblock on a stretch of Interstate 91 two miles north of Hanover.

War, budget mark Spring term

By Nathaniel Ward | June 19, 2003

Though frequent changes in the weather might have had more impact on students' day-to-day lives, the conflict in Iraq and the College's continued budget woes were the real issues that dominated the campus Spring term. The biggest event of the term began midway through Spring break when the United States and its allies launched an invasion of Iraq to topple Saddam Hussein's regime March 19. Though the invasion encountered a few obstacles, including Turkey's refusal to allow use of its airspace or territory for military purposes, it proceeded quickly with minimal casualties for coalition forces. Student protest against the war was not quelled by the start of hostilities.

After capturing the suspected perpetrator of a hit-and-run incident in Norwich that killed a Vermont state trooper and spawned a three-day chase over much of the East Coast, law enforcement authorities must now decide who's best equipped to serve justice. Involvement of federal prosecutors would allow Vermont, one of 12 states that has outlawed the death penalty, to seek this punishment for 23 year-old Lebanon, N.H.
