Episode Details

Grand Isle County’s top prosecutor, Douglas DiSabato, is stepping away from criminal court after a DUI arrest — his case is now headed to a diversion program, offering a chance to avoid a conviction if he completes requirements. Arrested in April for appearing intoxicated in court, his BAC was .084 — just over the legal limit. Though he initially pleaded not guilty, he’s now admitting to the civil license suspension and taking full responsibility, even sharing a raw personal statement about the stress of his job and how he turned to alcohol to cope. The Chittenden County prosecutor’s office is handling the case due to a conflict of interest, and while diversion is common for first-time offenders with low BACs who admit to license suspension, this comes with a stark contrast to Addison County’s Eva Vekos — who pleaded no contest, refused a breath test, faced a six-month suspension, and is now under disciplinary fire, including a temporary law license suspension.
