Two Courts and Judges Send Britch to Windsor
At a Bennington County Court hearing this morning Judge William C. Hill found Douglas Britch 30 of Bennington in violation of probation and ordered him to serve a one to two year sentence in the Windsor House of Correction. Municipal Court judge George M. Fienberg ordered a concurrent one to two year term, tied to earlier breach of peace charges. Britch’s history includes a praised suspended sentence and alcohol problems noted by State’s Atty. R Marshall Witten. A second Municipal Court session fined Ernest Langlais 16 of North Pownal 33.10 for disorderly conduct after a prior road-safety incident. A separate County Court civil suit involving William D. Rogers and Harold Wyman ended in an undisclosed settlement.
