According to police reports, a traffic stop on Jefferson Hill Road in Newbury on March 13 led to the arrest of Christopher Way, a 33-year-old resident of Canaan, Vermont. Troopers from the Vermont State Police discovered Way slumped over in the passenger seat of a truck parked in a manner that obstructed traffic.
During the investigation, police say Way provided false information while attempting to evade questioning. It was revealed that he had an active arrest warrant. Way was taken into custody and subsequently transported to the Vermont State Police Barracks for processing. He is currently being held at the Northeast Correctional Complex on a $5,000 bail.
Way faces multiple allegations, including lewd and lascivious conduct, simple assault, and violation of probation, among other charges. He is scheduled to appear in Essex Court on March 16 at 12:30 PM. According to the report, the charges against him are allegations, and both the court date and specific charges may change as the case progresses.
