Man charged after crash, kissing couple

BURLINGTON, Vt. - A Milton man who crashed a car at high speed and then wandered into a house and kissed a sleeping couple is facing a variety of charges.

Thomas Popke, 26, is hospitalized at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington. He’s facing charges including unlawful trespass, operating without owner’s consent and careless and negligent operation. He had not been drinking, police said. Popke is due in court Jan. 24.

The incident began with a car crash at about 3 a.m. Thursday. Popke was driving on North Road in Hinesburg at more than 100 mph, said Vermont State Police Trooper Brian Penders.

Popke lost control and crashed. The vehicle flipped at least twice. Popke banged his head, received a large gash, lost a tooth and cut his hand, Penders said.

Then Popke walked a mile to the home of Sandra and Reginald Robinson. The couple awoke when Popke greeted them as they slept, Sandra Robinson, 66, said.

“He kissed me on the cheek and said, ‘Hi, Mom,’” she said later Thursday. “Then he went around to the other side of the bed and kissed my husband and said, ‘Hi, Dad.”
