Investigation leads to Castleton aggravated stalking charge
Vermont State Police say a 63-year-old Castleton man, Peter A. Pfenning, was arrested in a Castleton aggravated stalking case following an investigation into the alleged stalking of a juvenile. The inquiry was conducted collaboratively by the Vermont State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Department of Corrections in response to reports of Pfenning’s concerning behavior.
According to police reports, Pfenning has been charged with aggravated stalking under Vermont law. The investigation revealed that his actions warranted such an allegation, leading to his arrest. He is currently being held at the Marble Valley Correctional Center without bail due to a probation violation connected to a previous stalking case.
Pfenning is scheduled to appear in Rutland Criminal Court on June 15, 2026, at 10 AM. As with all charges, these allegations remain subject to change as the case progresses through the legal system. It is important to note that the charges against him are allegations, and he is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
