A man was arrested Sunday in connection with the shooting of a Vermont police officer on Friday. The arrest was made possible by a tip from the community.
Investigators say a tip led to the arrest Sunday of a man accused of shooting a Vermont police officer on Friday afternoon. After he was located inside a residence at 251 Portland St. in St. Johnsbury, the house next door to the location where the shooting occurred, Vermont State Police Maj. David Petersen said tips from the community were integral to the investigation.
In particular, one tip that pointed investigators to the home next door to where Mason lived, which is where he was ultimately apprehended 32 hours after the shooting. Late in the evening Saturday night, we had a tip about a possible location of where Mason was located on Portland Street. We had detectives with the Criminal Division interview this individual, which led to the issuance of a search warrant,' Petersen said. Coinciding with that, we had members of our Tactical Services Unit respond and secure the perimeter. He said police were able to draw out a number of people from inside the property, who were interviewed by police. The Tactical Services Unit then used technology and other means to investigate what was inside the residence. After that, police prepared to deploy a K9 unit to enter the residence. Warnings were given, and once those warnings were announced and the dog started barking, Mason announced his presence and came out. 'He was confrontational, he damaged some equipment of Vermont State Police,' Petersen said. 'We had to use control and restraint techniques to secure him.' State police said weapons were recovered, though they have not confirmed that any of them were the one that was used to shoot Gray. Mason was initially brought to state police barracks in St. Johnsbury and later to the hospital for a medical evaluation. He was then returned to the barracks and brought to jail on the arrest warrant, where he was held without bail pending his arraignment Monday in Vermont Superior Court in St. Johnsbur
