Vermont State Police say a Chelsea man faces charges following an incident reported at a local residence on March 19, 2026. According to police, 56-year-old Max Quayle was found to be unlawfully trespassing on the property, leading to the issuance of a criminal citation for unlawful trespass.
The altercation prompted a response from troopers at the Royalton Barracks, who investigated the situation further. As a result of their inquiries, police determined that Quayle’s presence on the property was unauthorized.
Quayle has been ordered to appear in Vermont Superior Court, Orange Criminal Division, on May 20, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. The charges against him are allegations, and the legal proceedings will continue to evolve as the case progresses. No bail has been set, and further details regarding the courtroom proceedings will be determined at the upcoming hearing.
