Episode Details

Grand Isle County State’s Attorney Doug DiSabato is entering a diversion program for his DUI arrest, potentially leading to case dismissal and sealed records. The incident occurred April 14 when court staff noticed impairment; he failed field sobriety tests with a BAC of .084—just above the legal limit. He’s also facing a three-month driver’s license suspension, which he admits to. The civil case and diversion are handled separately, with Chittenden County’s Sarah George declining to comment due to confidentiality. DiSabato, running for re-election after 12 years, cited personal turmoil—including his husband’s brain tumor, his mother’s death, and his father’s nursing home placement—along with death threats. Diversion programs typically include counseling or community service, and records are sealed after two years. This isn’t an isolated case, as other state’s attorneys have faced similar charges recently.
