Vermont State Police say a 28-year-old man from Fort Ann, New York, was arrested in Castleton on February 20, 2026, following a report of an extraditable warrant issued against him by New York authorities. Police located Brandon Wade and took him into custody.
According to the report, while being held, Wade attempted to escape, leading to additional charges for attempting to evade law enforcement. He is facing allegations of being a fugitive from justice and attempting to escape custody. Wade is currently at the Marble Valley Correctional Facility, where he is being held without bail.
Wade is scheduled to appear in Vermont Superior Court, Rutland Criminal Division, on February 23, 2026. The charges he faces are serious allegations, and the legal process will determine the outcome of the case. Court dates and charges may change as the situation develops.
