NEWBURY, Vt. — Vermont State Police have arrested Jefferey Emerson, 35, a transient, on three outstanding warrants after a brief foot chase on U.S. Route 302 in Newbury on June 9, police say.
Troopers responded to a reported burglary and saw Emerson fleeing a neighboring property, police say. He was apprehended without incident, and troopers allege he threatened someone at the scene. He was processed at the Bradford Outpost.
Emerson was arraigned the same day at Orange County Criminal Court in Chelsea on charges including resisting arrest and criminal threatening, in addition to the warrants, and was lodged at the Northeast Correctional Complex in St. Johnsbury on $15,000 bail. The charges are allegations, and he is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
