Wardsboro standoff on Route 100 ends with arrest after overnight closure

By about 7:30 a.m. Thursday, a trooper at the scene said the case involved a search warrant and that there had been a threat of violence.

State police said a man was taken into custody after a tense overnight incident that shut down part of Vermont Route 100 in Wardsboro and prompted a domestic violence response.

 

According to Adam Silverman, a spokesperson for the State Police, the situation ended without additional complications and the suspect was detained without further incident.

 

The traffic disruption began at midnight Thursday, when state police warned drivers that both lanes of Vermont Route 100 were blocked near Meadow Wood Lane because of a law enforcement operation. Officials said at the time that the closure was likely to last for an extended period.

 

By about 7:30 a.m. Thursday, a trooper at the scene said the case involved a search warrant and that there had been a threat of violence.

 

State police said a formal news release was expected later Thursday.
