A Boston man pleaded not guilty in court Thursday
A Boston man pleaded not guilty in court Thursday to charges that he threatened another man with a gun in the parking lot of the Walmart in Derby. Vermont State Police say Wellington Arias, 21, had a confrontation around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday with Jason Willey, 40, and fired a gun close to Willey. Then, police say Arias stole Willey’s SUV. Arias was taken into custody just before 6 p.m. when police caught him going 97 mph north on I-91 in Lyndonville in a different car. Arias is being held without bail at the Northern State correctional facility on charges including aggravated assault and reckless endangerment.
