According to police reports, a 37-year-old man from Barre, identified as Robert Jackman, was charged with possession of stolen property following an incident in Vershire, Vermont. The Vermont State Police were alerted on December 14, 2025, after members of the Vershire Selectboard reported that multiple road signs had been stolen and were listed for sale on social media.
Troopers initiated contact with Jackman, posing as potential buyers to set up a meeting. When they arrived at the designated location, police say Jackman was seen fleeing the scene after abandoning the stolen signs. Authorities quickly detained him, and he was issued a citation to appear in Washington County Superior Court Criminal Division.
All stolen road signs have been recovered and will be returned to the town of Vershire. Jackman is scheduled to appear in court on January 29, 2026, at 8:30 AM. The charges against him are allegations at this stage, and details regarding the case may evolve as it progresses through the legal system.
