SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:

               On Friday, September 2, 2022, at approximately 1247 hours, Troopers assigned to the St. Johnsbury barracks were notified of an obstruction blocking the roadway on Burroughs Road in Wheelock.  Callers notified dispatch that the obstruction was apparently man made and had been placed there to block the road.  Upon the arrival of Troopers to the scene, it was determined that the structure had been placed there by a resident of the road, identified as Jeremey Currier, age 46 of Wheelock.  Currier had confronted a person who tried to remove the obstruction, who then called 911.  During this altercation, Currier brandished a firearm to several people who were looking to travel down the roadway.  While Troopers were on scene, Currier exited his residence while in possession of a firearm.  Troopers utilized less lethal impact munitions to safely deescalate the incident as Currier refused to follow commands.  Currier was ordered held without bail by the Honorable Judge Justin Jiron.  Currier was lodged at the Northeast Regional Correction Center in St. Johnsbury.  It was determined that Currier also had a warrant for his arrest on an unrelated criminal charge.
