Vermont State Police say a 36-year-old Waterbury resident was cited for multiple offenses following a disturbance on Spruce Haven early on July 21, 2026. According to police reports, officers responded to the scene around 5:51 a.m. and identified Ian Thompson as the individual involved.
During the investigation, police determined that Thompson had engaged in disorderly conduct and violated his conditions of release. While attempting to place him under arrest, he resisted and struck one of the troopers. Following the incident, Thompson was transported to the Berlin Barracks for processing.
He was subsequently released with a citation to appear in Vermont Superior Court, Washington Criminal Division, on July 22, 2026, at 12:30 p.m. to address the charges of disorderly conduct, violation of conditions of release, resisting arrest, and assault of a protected professional.
