A man shot by a Vermont State Police trooper Monday afternoon in Putney has died.
The shooting occurred at about 4:30 p.m. at the Putney Landing Apartments at 23 Neumann Lane, where police had responded earlier in the day after receiving a complaint from an individual who was concerned about how a neighbor was acting. VSP troopers obtained a search warrant and an arrest warrant for the man living at the apartment in question.
The circumstances of the shooting remain under active investigation. The man was pronounced deceased on scene. The trooper who fired his service weapon was uninjured.
The body of the deceased man will be brought to the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office in Burlington for an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death. VSP will release his name following notification of relatives and further investigation.
Following standard protocol, the state police will withhold the identity of the trooper involved for at least 24 hours.
When the Vermont State Police investigation is complete, the case will be turned over to the Vermont Attorney General’s Office and the relevant State’s Attorney’s Office for independent reviews of the use of force.
VSP continues to ask that anyone with information regarding this case call the state police in Westminster at 802-722-4600 or submit an anonymous tip online at https://vsp.vermont.gov/tipsubmit.
Trooper crashes – Vermont State Police trooper escaped injury Saturday night after crashing his cruiser while responding to a call for service in Addison County, according to authorities.
At 11:30 p.m. on July 5, Vermont State Police received a report of a single-vehicle crash on Vermont Route 17 in the Town of New Haven. The vehicle involved was a fully marked, department-issued State Police cruiser.
Trooper Daniel Arrato, 28, of Randolph, was identified as the driver of the vehicle. Police say he was traveling eastbound on Route 17 when he failed to maintain his lane of travel and veered off the south side of the road. The passenger side of the cruiser struck a telephone pole, causing significant damage to the vehicle.
Trooper Arrato was not injured in the crash. Weather conditions were clear and the blacktop road surface was dry.
The Vermont State Police said the incident remains under investigation. No other vehicles were involved, and no civilians were harmed. It is not yet clear what caused Trooper Arrato to leave the roadway.
Big plywood theft – July 7, State Police were notified of a theft at the work zone on I 91 S Exit 15 in Lyndonville. Winterset Inc. had 65, 4 x 8 x 3/4-inch sheets of plywood stolen sometime between the night of July 3 and the morning of July 7.
Anyone with information that may aid this investigation is asked to contact the Vermont State Police St Johnsbury Barracks at 802-748-3111.

A shooting at Putney Landing, a Windham Windsor Housing Trust complex. Right off I-91, out of sight from the road into town from the Exit. Color me shocked.
And now under construction, just a small-caliber shot away, a 25-unit complex, also WWHT, funded via the usual web of non-profits and tax money: https://www.homemattershere.org/alice-holway-drive-info-page/
For fun, sleuth out some of the principals involved with this project, and the WWHT, and you’ll find yourself in the seat of power under the golden dome.
What. A. Racket.
The taxpayers of Vermont, who foot the gargantuan costs for subsidized housing need a better vetting process for keeping out the obvious troublemakers. Instead, Vermont has moved to restrict background checks by landlords.
Rich, what I have just realized is that this is the grift! My thinking about this had been so uptight!
Bring in people who are marginalized and need help. (Ahem, Brattleboro Retreat.)
Make the moral argument that we need to protect the most vulnerable. Contribute to candidates who will advocate for policies that will maintain and increase (maybe via loose bail policies) populations who, under a variety of victimhood banners. Fund non-profits that run operations on the ground and perform PR. Employ non-profits with people with political ambitions.
Maintain press control, whitewashing stories about the constant flow of mayhem these units attract and experience. Focus on families wiped out by floods.
Use public money for “Private/Public Partnerships” to build housing units, maybe even on land you already own. Populate those buildings with folks who qualify for public largesse, and skim your %. Repeat.
So OF COURSE they want to restrict landlords’ abilities to vet tenants.
I’m embarrassed that it took me so long to figure this out.
Just so you know…Exit 15 (worksite) is in Fairlee VT
