Island Pond woman has been convicted in Essex Superior Court after creating chaos at the home

An Island Pond woman has been convicted in Essex Superior Court after creating chaos at the home of her children. Tammi Hedges, 48, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to drunken driving and an amended charge of reckless endangerment in exchange for a suspended 12-18 month sentence, two years of probation and $454 in court surcharges. State Police said in court documents they were called to 25 E Brighton Road in Island Pond on Dec. 6, 2022, for a report that Hedges had arrived driving drunk and had smashed her truck into her son’s Jeep and was trying to run him over. When troopers arrived, Hedges was already gone but family members told police that when Tammi first arrived she started yelling at her son Garett Letourneau, 20, and throwing all of his tools in the garage all over the place and in the driveway. Garett said he then got into his Jeep to block the driveway so Tammi could not get up to his residence where his brothers and sisters were. “Garett stated Tammi rammed his jeep multiple times in the driveway with Garett inside the vehicle.” Letourneau told police he then got out of the Jeep and started walking up the driveway. “At this time Tammi was able to get her truck past the jeep and Tammi attempted to run him over while driving up to the residence,” wrote Tpr. Miller. “Garett advised Tammi was drunk during this encounter.” Police then went to Hedge’s residence, arrested her and took her the Derby barracks for processing.
