Windsor County, VT – Authorities in Windsor County are actively searching for a woman wanted on an arrest warrant after she allegedly failed to appear in court following a recent drug-related traffic stop.
According to the Windsor County Sheriff’s Department, deputies arrested Ashley Ragucci, 35, during a motor vehicle stop in Hartland on Sunday, January 4, after a sheriff observed a vehicle leaving a known drug house.
Officials said Sheriff Ryan Palmer conducted the stop and identified Ragucci as one of the occupants. During the investigation, deputies allegedly determined that Ragucci had an active in-state arrest warrant at the time. Authorities also reported that she was found to be in possession of drug paraphernalia.
Ragucci was taken into custody and transported directly to the Woodstock Courthouse, where bail was addressed due to capacity constraints. According to the sheriff’s department, she was issued a citation and ordered to return to court the following day.
However, officials said Ragucci failed to appear for her scheduled court date on Monday, January 5, prompting the court to issue another arrest warrant. She is now considered wanted, and deputies say efforts are ongoing to locate and arrest her.
The incident occurred near Mace Hill Road in Hartland, a town located in Windsor County, southeast of Rutland and west of Lebanon, New Hampshire.
The Windsor County Sheriff’s Department is asking anyone who may know Ragucci’s whereabouts to contact authorities immediately. Tips can be reported directly to the sheriff’s office at 802-457-5211.
Anyone with information is urged not to approach the suspect and to allow law enforcement to handle the situation.
