SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

On December 2, 2024, at approximately 2002 hours, Troopers from the Vermont State Police Rutland Barracks responded to a disturbance in the Town of Killington. Investigation revealed that the subject of the disturbance had two active Vermont arrest warrants. Troopers made contact with the individual, identified as Richard Meinzer, through the window of the residence and informed him he was under arrest for his warrants. Meinzer refused to comply and remained inside his residence to attempt to prevent Troopers from arresting him. Troopers made entry and Meinzer was arrested without incident. Meinzer’s two warrants accrued bail in the amount of $10,000.00 and $200.00. A judge was also contacted regarding Meinzer’s actions and imposed additional bail in the amount of $25,000.00 and conditions of release.
