According to police reports, a 42-year-old Hyde Park resident, Elizabeth Masson-Monteith, was charged with violating conditions of release following an incident in a Lamoille County courtroom. The event occurred on February 4, 2026, around 9:10 a.m. while a state trooper was present during a criminal hearing.
Masson-Monteith allegedly made contact with Jason Perry, the victim in her previous criminal case, by pointing at a piece of paper and speaking to him while they were just feet apart. This interaction breached a prior court order prohibiting her from contacting Perry, stemming from charges of criminal threatening and disorderly conduct by electronic communication after she threatened him in March 2025, according to police.
Masson-Monteith received a citation to appear in the Lamoille County Superior Court Criminal Division on February 5, 2026, at 12:30 p.m. The charges against her are allegations, and the upcoming court date may change as the case progresses.
