Springfield man accused of violating release conditions while held at Rutland prison

Vermont State Police said Benjamin Stocker, 35, also faces a charge of attempt to suborn stemming from an Aug. 27 incident at Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility.

RUTLAND, Vt. — A Springfield man held at Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility in Rutland has been charged with violating his conditions of release and with attempt to suborn, Vermont State Police said Sunday.

Police said they were told Aug. 27 of a possible violation of release conditions. An investigation found that Benjamin Stocker, 35, of Springfield, violated his conditions of release while he was held at the Rutland prison, according to police.

The release did not describe what Stocker is accused of doing, which conditions he is alleged to have violated or what the attempt to suborn charge involves.

Stocker was cited and is scheduled to appear Dec. 1 in Vermont Superior Court, Windham Criminal Division, police said. The release listed him as still held at the Marble Valley facility.

The charges are allegations, and Stocker is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
