Vermont State Police say a 44-year-old resident of West Rutland was charged with first-degree aggravated domestic assault following an incident early on July 21, 2026. Troopers responded to a domestic disturbance in the town around 12:46 a.m. and discovered that Jesse Neil had inflicted serious bodily injury on a family or household member.
According to police, Neil was taken into custody and transported to the Rutland Barracks for processing. He was held without bail and subsequently lodged at the Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility.
Neil is scheduled to appear in Rutland County Superior Court later that same day at 12:30 p.m. The Vermont State Police do not disclose the names of victims in cases of domestic violence.
