According to police reports, a 22-year-old man from Jeffersonville was arrested early on March 22, 2026, following a domestic incident that prompted a 911 call. The call reported that the individual was placed in a headlock and had difficulty breathing. Troopers from the Williston Barracks responded to the scene on Deer Run Loop alongside Lamoille County Sheriff’s deputies.
