Vermont State Police fatally shot 55-year-old Scott Garvey in Putney in July after he barricaded himself in his apartment during a mental health crisis. Vermont Attorney General Charity Clark ruled the shooting justified, stating the trooper reasonably believed Garvey held a rifle and posed a threat, though the object was actually a pipe used as a cane. Garvey's brother disputed the findings and criticized the use of force.
