Shortly before 8 pm August 19, the Vermont State Police received a report of a male that pulled a gun on another male at the Exit 18 Maplefields in Georgia. The caller reported that the suspect fled the scene in a black four door older model VW Jetta with a white temporary plate last seen heading toward the interstate on US Route 7 in Georgia.

The victims told state police said they had agreed to meet the suspect at the Maplefields as he was reportedly selling a Go-Pro on Facebook Marketplace that had been stolen recently out of the truck of one of the victims. Upon confronting the suspect with the information that it was their Go-Pro, the suspect grabbed the camera back and pulled a gun on the victim and his friends.

The victims described the gun as a black semi-automatic handgun and said that the suspect racked the slide of the handgun as he drew it from underneath his coat and then pointed it at them.

Attached are pictures of the suspect who has yet to be identified. Anyone with information regarding the identity of the suspect is asked to contact the Vermont State Police St. Albans Barracks at 802-524-5993. Tips also may be submitted anonymously online at http://vsp.vermont.gov/tipsubmit.

  1. “Liberals” & George Soros- backed candidates: There is NO need for your continuing to attempt to ruin & destroy Vermont. These folks are doing the job you hoped for as fast as they possibly can!

  2. So will State AG bj donavan give this guy a pass like the Mall shooter or the drug dealer in a Rutland motel??

    • Whether the alleged ripoff artist is charged will depend on if he “is the victim of substance abuse disorder”. That being the case, the alleged crime was only his attempt to “best manage his disease”.

  3. In this age of political correctness and race hypersensitivity, investigators are allowed to describe the weapon as “black”, but when reporting on the recent string of gun incidents, Vermont’s mainstream journalist community must refrain from making similar descriptions of the perpetrators.
