Vermont State Police say a 66-year-old Hartland resident, David A. Thibodeau Sr., was arrested on April 18, 2026, on Route 5 as a result of an investigation into a citizen dispute. Police received information that Thibodeau had an active arrest warrant for multiple charges, including second-degree aggravated domestic assault and reckless endangerment.
According to the report, officers from the Royalton Barracks located Thibodeau outside a property on Route 5 and took him into custody. He was wanted for failing to appear in court on April 9, 2026, in connection with the aforementioned charges, as well as resisting arrest and violating an abuse prevention order. Thibodeau was subsequently transported to the Southern State Correctional Facility in Springfield, where he is being held on a $2,500 cash or surety bail.
Thibodeau has been issued a citation to appear before the Windsor Superior County Criminal Court on April 20, 2026, at 12:30 p.m. These charges are allegations, and the legal proceedings are ongoing, with the possibility of changes as the case develops.
