Vermont State Police say a 31-year-old Bennington resident was taken into custody on July 13, 2026, after officers responded to a report of a suspicious individual at Stewart’s Shop in Arlington. The individual, identified as Justin M. Redcross, was found to have an active arrest warrant for failure to appear on a felony charge of unlawful trespass.
According to police, Redcross was processed at the Shaftsbury Barracks before being transported to the Marble Valley Correctional Facility. He is currently lodged there, with bail set at $10,000.
Redcross is scheduled to appear in Bennington court on July 14, 2026, at 12:30 PM. The court date and time may be subject to change, and individuals are advised to contact the criminal court clerk for confirmation of the arraignment.
