SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:
Vermont State Police Williston Troopers responded to the report of a male discharging a firearm in the vicinity of a neighbor whom he was having an ongoing verbal dispute over.
Upon arriving in the area of Cloverdale Rd. Troopers met with Fulton who indicted he was out in the yard when his neighbor (Veverka) came out of his house and made numerous threats of violence towards him. Fulton stated he initially ignored these rants but then noticed Veverka stepped out onto his back porch and fired off what appeared to be a .22 cal pistol in his general direction. The victim stated Veverka then stated something to the effect that was a warning shot and “the next one he was dead.”
