Vermont State Police say a 60-year-old Rockingham resident, Ronald Lake, was charged with uttering a forged instrument following an investigation into a financial document. The incident occurred on October 3, 2024, when detectives received a report alleging that Lake had forged a signature on the document without authorization and submitted it to a financial institution.
According to police reports, the investigation confirmed the allegations, leading to a citation issued to Lake on January 14, 2026. He is scheduled to appear in Windham County Court on March 17, 2026, to respond to the charge.
These allegations remain unproven as the legal process unfolds, and the court date is subject to change. Further details regarding the case may emerge as it progresses through the judicial system.
