On August 21, at approximately 11:20 p.m. Troopers from the VSP
Rutland barracks responded to a reported fireworks complaint and a
possible assault at 335 Tamarack Lane in Rutland Town. Upon
arriving on scene, troopers discovered a large amount of vehicles
on the property and dozens of underage persons who had been found
to be consuming alcohol. Numerous juveniles fled into the woods and
many others were detained near the residence. Parents of the
juveniles were contacted and were released into the custody of
adults.
While troopers were attempting to locate many of the juveniles
who fled into the woods, an unknown subject threw a rock from the
woodline, striking a trooper in the leg. No injuries were sustained
from the encounter.
A male who was taken into custody and placed in handcuffs, fled
the immediate area and K-9 units from VSP and Rutland City Police
Department were deployed to locate the intoxicated subject. The
17-year-old was located a short time later by a K-9 team and
transported to the barracks where he was placed into protective
custody.
Another partygoer who fled the scene cut and injured his leg
while running. This individual was treated at the Rutland Regional
Medical Center. Several other juveniles who fled into a wooded area
reported they had run into a barbed wire fence causing cuts to
their arms and legs.
Further investigation revealed that 18-year-old Christopher
Bohlig of Rutland Town, Vt. knowingly hosted the above mentioned
under aged party at his residence. Bohlig was cited for the
offense of Criminal Enabling on August 23 and processed at the
Rutland Barracks.
These charges are pending in Rutland Superior Court (Criminal
Division).
