Firearm display alleged in Newbury reckless endangerment case

According to police, a 60-year-old Newbury resident, Scott W. Zambon, has been charged in a Newbury reckless endangerment case following an incident on Leighton Hill Road on May 16, 2026. Vermont State Police from the Saint Johnsbury barracks responded to reports of a dispute in the area around 6:52 PM and discovered that Zambon allegedly displayed a firearm during a confrontation with his neighbor, identified as 45-year-old Howard Stevens.

After a thorough investigation, Zambon was arrested without incident and later issued a citation to appear in court. He is scheduled to appear at the Orange Superior Court on July 8, 2026, at 8:30 AM to address the charges against him.

Police say that the allegations against Zambon are still under legal consideration, and the court date is subject to change. Individuals facing charges are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. This Vermont newbury cited story highlights important developments.
