RICHFORD, Vt. — Vermont State Police have cited Rene Robitaille, 43, of Richford, with resisting arrest and attempting to escape after he fled troopers on Town Street on June 8, police say.
Troopers recognized Robitaille, who had multiple active warrants, at about 7:34 p.m., police say. He fled on foot but was caught a short time later and held at the Northwest State Correctional Facility in St. Albans on $25,700 bail.
The warrants stem from charges of felony second-degree aggravated domestic assault and misdemeanor unlawful trespass, police say. Robitaille was scheduled to appear in Franklin County Criminal Court on June 9. The charges are allegations, and he is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
