According to police reports, two individuals were charged following an incident involving a stolen vehicle in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, on December 14, 2025. Police say Scott Keithan, 50, of St. Johnsbury, allegedly refused to return a vehicle loaned to him by Christina Miller, 46, also of St. Johnsbury. During the investigation, it was revealed that Michelle Vance, 44, of Lyndon, operated the vehicle from December 13 to December 15, despite knowing it needed to be returned.
Troopers from the St. Johnsbury Barracks located the vehicle at Vance’s residence on December 16, shortly before finding both Keithan and Vance attempting to leave the premises. As a result, Vance received a citation to appear in Caledonia County Superior Court on January 5, 2026, at 8:30 AM. Keithan was arrested and processed at the St. Johnsbury Barracks, also receiving a citation for a court appearance on the same date.
Both individuals face charges of aggravated operation without the owner’s consent, while Keithan is additionally charged with violation of conditions of release. All charges are allegations, and court dates may change as the case proceeds.
