ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police received a report of an assault involving a gun in Granville on the evening of Saturday, Aug. 31. Troopers looked into it and determined that on Aug. 18, Hillary N. Barcomb, 45, of Roxbury had come to Buffalo Farm Road in Granville on Aug. 18 and assaulted Ronald E. Marsh of Granville.

State Police found Barcomb and tried to arrest her, but said she resisted.

After they eventually took her into custody, police cited Barcomb for aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, criminal threatening and resisting arrest. 

On the western side of the Green Mountains, Vermont State Police operating out of the New Haven barracks also had a busy period early on the evening of Aug. 31. 

First, at just after 7 p.m., troopers went to the scene of a truck crash on Route 22A in Orwell. Police report that a 2019 Volvo tractor-trailer was southbound on the state highway when its contents shifted and caused the rig to leave the road.

The vehicle struck a tree, which forced it back onto the roadway, subsequently blocking the southbound lane until the trailer was removed by Earl’s Towing of Rutland. The southbound lane was blocked until about 1:30 a.m.

The truck sustained moderate damage, but the Chicago driver was reported uninjured.

The Orwell Fire Department assisted on the scene.

That same evening at 7:10 p.m., troopers responded to Bristol’s Burpee Road near the intersection with Plank Road for a reported family fight. State police investigated and alleged that John WK Strout, 29, of Bristol had been driving under the influence. They cited Strout for DUI and released him to a sober adult.

The only other incident on the state police’s recent log came on Aug. 29, when, at around 9:30 p.m., troopers checked a suspicious motor vehicle on Campground Road near its intersection with Route 7 in New Haven. Police said that a passenger identified as Jeremiah Delorme, 28, of Vergennes was in violation of his court ordered conditions of release, so they cited him for that offense.
