Vermont State Police say a 23-year-old resident of Jay was arrested on May 4, 2026, following a reported physical altercation on Loop Road. Authorities were alerted to a fight between a male and female outside a vehicle, prompting a response from the Vermont State Police, Orleans County Sheriff’s Department, and Newport Ambulance Service.
According to police reports, Bella Carlos is charged with first-degree aggravated domestic assault and operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol. Investigators determined that Carlos allegedly attempted to cause serious bodily injury to a household member by strangulation. Following the incident, Carlos was taken into custody and transported to the Derby barracks for processing. Carlos was later lodged at the Northern State Correctional Facility after being set bail at $500, under conditions imposed by the court.
Carlos is scheduled to appear in Orleans Criminal Court on May 5, 2026, to address the charges. The charges remain allegations at this stage, and court dates may change as the case progresses.
