If you do a search for "edward cashman vermont" you get a ton of disgraceful behavior. Apparently he is a district judge and the same one that puts drunk drivers back on the street.
UVM campus police stopped a drunk driver that refused to take a breath test. His dishonor ruled the police could not stop him because he was not a student. Now he's off to continue to drink and drive. Letting criminals go seems to be a habit for that judge.
