Vermont State Police say a 43-year-old resident of Island Pond, Dwayne Calloway, was charged with two counts of first-degree aggravated domestic assault following an incident reported on May 21, 2026. The alleged assault occurred on Railroad Street in the Village of Island Pond and involved an attempt to cause serious bodily injury to a family member in the presence of a child.
According to police reports, the incident was reported late, prompting an investigation that led to Calloway’s location in St. Johnsbury, where he was taken into custody without incident. He was subsequently processed at the Derby Barracks and is being held without bail at the Northern State Correctional Facility.
Calloway is scheduled to appear in Essex County Court on June 10, 2026, at 12:30 PM. The charges against him are allegations at this stage, and the court date may change as the case progresses. The Vermont State Police do not release the names of victims in domestic violence cases.
