According to police reports, a 21-year-old man from Hartford, Connecticut, was arrested late on January 28, 2026, in Saint Johnsbury, Vermont, for an outstanding warrant related to disorderly conduct. Vermont State Police say that while on patrol near Railroad Street, they observed a traffic violation and initiated a stop, during which they identified Garth Nairne as a passenger with an active warrant.
Following confirmation of the warrant, Nairne was taken into custody and transported to the St. Johnsbury Barracks for processing. He has been charged with disorderly conduct and is being held on a $200 bail at the Northeast Correctional Complex.
