Vermont State Police say a 31-year-old resident of Westfield, Jordan Hemingway, was charged with second-degree aggravated domestic assault following an incident on June 22, 2026. The disturbance occurred around 10:46 p.m. on Vermont Route 242 in Jay.
According to police reports, officers responded to a family disturbance and discovered that Hemingway had allegedly placed a household member in fear of serious bodily injury. He left the scene before law enforcement arrived, and initial attempts to locate him were unsuccessful. However, on the morning of June 23, police located Hemingway and took him into custody without incident. He was subsequently processed at the Vermont State Police Derby Barracks and lodged at the Northern State Correctional Facility.
Hemingway is being held without bail and is scheduled to appear in Orleans Court on June 24, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Court dates and times are subject to change, and individuals are advised to confirm with the criminal court clerk.
