Windsor County, VT – A Hartford woman was arrested Wednesday afternoon following a coordinated law enforcement operation tied to multiple drug-related arrest warrants in Windsor County.
According to the Windsor County Sheriff’s Department, deputies arrested Amanda Pelletier, 40, at a residence on Cross Street in Quechee at approximately 3:53 p.m. Wednesday. The arrest was carried out with assistance from the Hartford Police Department.
Authorities say Pelletier was taken into custody on two in-state arrest warrants connected to allegations involving the sale of fentanyl and cocaine, as well as a separate charge related to importing or stocking a wild animal. Investigators noted the arrest stemmed from an earlier, unrelated investigation that led deputies to Pelletier’s location.
Pelletier, who resides in Hartford, Vermont, was transported to the Southern State Correctional Facility, where she was lodged following the arrest. Court action has been approved in Windsor County Court, and Pelletier is scheduled to appear on Thursday, January 2, 2026, according to authorities.
The sheriff’s department credited Hartford Police for assisting in the arrest and helping ensure the operation was completed safely.
Officials did not release additional details about the underlying investigations, and all charges remain allegations pending court proceedings.
Anyone with information related to drug activity in Windsor County is encouraged to contact the Windsor County Sheriff’s Department.
