David Foy cited Monday in one case, later arrested in another

A Vermont man who has 120 criminal charges has been arrested again. Williston police said they arrested David Foy, 43, of Burlington, Monday on two new charges. Investigators said they were called at a Vermont Tech dorm after the owner reported a car in the parking lot was broken into and items were stolen. Officers said they followed a trail of discarded items to the dorm's third-floor stairway landing. There they found Foy sleeping on top of an item taken from the car. He was cited about 11 a.m. on charges of unlawful trespassing, unlawful mischief and petit larceny. About 12:30 p.m. Monday, officers received a call from the Best Buy about a man inside the store who was attempting to remove security devices from a laptop. Police said the man, identified as Foy, took three laptops to the customer service counter and tried to ask for a refund. Employees denied Foy's request and called police. Officers said Foy denied stealing the laptops and left the store with them after being told to wait for police. Police found Foy with the laptops nearby. He was arrested on charges of retail theft and false pretense. The laptops were valued at about $600. Investigators said on top of Foy's previous 120 criminal charges, he had 84 convictions. He was out of jail on furlough, which has since been revoked.
