SUMMARY OF CRASH:

On 10/30/24 at approximately 2311 hours, Vermont State Police received reports of a verbal altercation inside of a vehicle traveling on South Wheelock Road in Wheelock, VT.

Upon arrival, Troopers identified a vehicle in the area that matched the description provided by the original complainant. Contact was made with four occupants inside the vehicle, one of which was identified to be Jacob Olcott (32).
