May 8, 9:59 a.m., South Park Street An employee of the Co-op Service Station contacted Hanover Police about a matter stemming from an April 27 incident when a middle-aged man pumped a tank of gas and attempted to pay for it with a check bearing a name that wasn’t his. When the gas station worker refused to accept the check, the individual offered his Vermont state driver’s license and his checkbook as collateral while he went to get cash to complete the purchase. The gas station attendant agreed to the terms, but the would-be buyer, a resident of West Danville, Vt. — located 60 miles north of Hanover — never returned, apparently unfazed by the prospect of driving without a license. On May 8, the station employee placed two calls: the first to Hanover Police to pick up the license and checkbook, and the second to the individual whose name was on the original check. The name belonged to a woman who, in the conversation with the employee, said she was the ex-wife of the buyer, who she said did not have permission to use the checks. In a later conversation with police, however, the woman said that she and her husband were not divorced and that she had granted him permission to use the check because she could not find the debit card connected to her checking account. Hanover Police transferred the license and checkbook into the wife’s possession and she went to the gas station to resolve the situation. More »
