ROCKINGHAM, Vt. -- One traffic stop netted two drunk-driving arrests after police say a backseat passenger jumped in the driver's seat. State police say they stopped a car early Sunday on Interstate 91 in Rockingham after it was clocked doing 106 mph. Authorities say they got driver Erik Polite out of the car before passenger Leeshawn Baker took his place behind the wheel and put the car in gear.
