Vermont State Police say a 40-year-old man was arrested for aggravated domestic assault following an incident on February 10, 2026, on Vermont Route 14 in Coventry. Joshua Sousie, a resident of Coventry, is accused of attempting to inflict serious bodily harm on a household member and instilling fear in others within the residence.
According to police, officers responded to the scene after receiving reports of a disturbance. Upon investigation, they determined that Sousie’s actions warranted his arrest. He was subsequently taken to the Derby Barracks for processing and later held at Northern State Correctional on a $5,000 bail.
Sousie is scheduled to appear in Orleans District Court on February 11, 2026, at 12:30 PM. It is important to note that the charges against him are still allegations, and court dates may be subject to change. For confirmation of the arraignment, individuals are advised to contact the criminal court clerk.
