Vermont State Police say a road rage incident on January 13, 2026, led to the arrest of a 32-year-old man from Fletcher, identified as Corban Thallon. The altercation occurred around 11:20 PM on Vermont Route 128 in Westford, where Thallon allegedly stopped his vehicle in front of another car operated by 62-year-old Betty Wheeler from Fairfax, obstructing her path.

Following a verbal confrontation, he fled the scene but was later located by officers on Pond Road in Fletcher, where he was taken into custody. Thallon faces multiple charges, including Criminal Threatening, Reckless Endangerment, Disorderly Conduct, and Impersonating a Law Enforcement Officer.
