A suspected drug dealer rammed an ambulance after rescue workers had come to the aid of his car on the side of the road in the early morning of Christmas Eve.
Vermont State Police were alerted to a vehicle at around 1 AM on December 24 which had multiple passed out occupants in the vicinity of Bowman Rd, in Barnard.
State police say paramedics arrived on the scene from White River Valley Ambulance, along with the VSP. When the paramedics attempted to assist the people in the car, the driver of the vehicle, 32-year-old James Badger, drove away rapidly, police say.
When police pursued Badger, he changed course back towards the ambulance and rammed it from behind. He then proceeded to continue fleeing, still in the vehicle.
Badger eventually crashed the truck and the two passengers fled on foot. Badger was placed under arrest. While in custody, Badger was found to have a criminally suspended license and a whopping six active arrest warrants.
Badger was cited to answer to the aforementioned charges and held at Southern State Correctional Facility without bail on the arrest warrants.
The arrest warrants include:
1. Fentanyl Trafficking, False Information to Police, Violation of Conditions of Release x3, Violation of Probation x3. -$1500

If the self-inflicted gunshot death was unintentional and due to “handling in an unsafe manner”, it shows a need to perhaps stop treating guns as some exotic taboo and to once again allow for gun safety education in our public schools. If it was intentional, it was likely the result of a sad but personal decision to end one’s own life, and i suppose could still be described as “handling the gun in an unsafe manner”. Suicide leaves behind many victims among the living, but Vermont does have a statutory allowance to hire a doctor to provide lethal drugs for someone who wishes to do it. Some people just prefer to do it on their own outside the regulatory structure.
Six active arrest warrants????? Waiting for the comments.
Quite the rap sheets these men have. It’s obvious that they aren’t learning yet they are released anyway.
The fact that they keep getting arrested and released suggests they have learned very well how the Vermont justice system works (or doesn’t).
Poster boys for EXACTLY why we need swift and stern bail and jail requirements for serial arrestee/offenders in Vermont who repeatedly violate conditions of release. We must insist our legislators create legislation with sharp teeth in it in this next session to get these people quickly off the streets. Their day in court will come. But with these kinds of outstanding warrants and records, they must be in jail while awaiting their day(s) in court.
We can’t find enough police officers as it is but the courts (and legislature) still let criminals out time after time after time so the police have to use their time to rearrest them. A law enforcement official told me that about 30 people are responsible for about 80% of the crimes in our county. Just think how much crime, harm to victims, hardship for victims and wasted time could be averted by just keeping these people off the street until they are sentenced. What is it that the courts, some court officers and legislators can’t understand about the above? Why do we let these offenders continue to wreak havoc on society?
What county are you referring to?
The Blue State Blues are here to stay. Anyone see what unfolded in New York City the past week? The movie “Escape from New York” is no longer a fictional tale. The cartels are active, engaged, and in full control of the Northeast corridor. Can Vermonters take the blinders off, realize why and who is being paid to pretend it isn’t happening, do nothing about it, but say they will? How many more deaths? How many more victims? Do Vermonters actually accept turnstyle justice that continues putting criminals into our communities to unleash their debauchery and degenerate behaviors with impunity? Apparently, yes – this is fine – just like the frogs sitting in the slow boiling pot.
Seeing the photo of Scott reading the Hanukkah story reminds me of Bush Jr. sitting in the classroom reading to children while the country was being attacked. Crisis? What crisis? See them all burying their heads, punishing taxpayers – not criminals – projecting blame onto the People for not obeying and complying to their NWO globalist sinister mantra – the American Dream, you have to be asleep to believe it.
Thank God we don’t have subways that they can light sleeping people on fire.
Just a matter time before one these fools breaks into the WRONG occupied residence.
If you can get charged with murder for lawfully restraining a dangerous person who later dies, as in the case of the NYC subway or the streets of Minneapolis, it seems to me that someone actively marketing fentanyl should be charged similarly. The annual national death toll for street opioid overdoses is more than 100,000.
