Vermont State Police say a 42-year-old Granville resident, Daniel Mutchler, was charged with aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, assault on a law enforcement officer, and resisting arrest following an incident on July 26, 2026. The event occurred around 5:45 PM at the intersection of Old Stage Road and Town Line Road.
According to police reports, officers responded to a call regarding an individual who had pointed a firearm at another person. Upon arrival, authorities learned that Mutchler was discharging rounds from the weapon. When police attempted to place him under arrest, Mutchler allegedly assaulted the officers and resisted their efforts. He was subsequently transported to the Royalton Barracks for processing and then to the Southern State Correctional Facility, where he is being held without bail.
Court action is scheduled for July 27, 2026, at 12:30 PM in Addison. The court date and time are subject to change, and individuals are advised to contact the criminal court clerk for confirmation.
