Vermont State Police say a 53-year-old man from Coventry, Seth Monfette, was taken into custody on January 31, 2026, following an incident of domestic violence. The arrest occurred after police received reports of a family dispute at a residence on Sylvester Drive the previous evening.
According to police reports, Monfette is charged with two counts of first-degree aggravated domestic assault after allegedly inflicting serious bodily injury on a family member. After being located, he was arrested without incident and transported to the Vermont State Police Derby Barracks for processing.
Monfette was subsequently ordered to be held without bail at the Northern State Correctional Facility. He is scheduled for arraignment in Orleans County Criminal Court on February 2, 2026, at 12:30 PM. The investigation remains ongoing, and the charges against Monfette are allegations at this stage.
