A 19-year-old St. Johnsbury man was arrested

A 19-year-old St. Johnsbury man who Vermont State Police refer to as a “juvenile” was arrested in East St. Johnsbury on Wednesday night after he allegedly assaulted state troopers. Another man with him, Anthony Fisk, 21, of Gorham, N.H., is accused of committing the crimes of assault on police and and resisting arrest. The state police report notes that troopers responded to an area in East St. Johnsbury a few minutes before 10 p.m. on Wednesday after complaints had been made about “numerous individuals yelling and talking about jumping off a bridge and a report of someone yelling about a shotgun.” The troopers encountered the two men who reportedly gave them “a brief struggle.” They were arrested and taken to the state police barracks in St. Johnsbury and later released on citations. Fisk is scheduled to appear in Caledonia Superior Court on Dec. 2.
