NEWFANE, Vt. — A 76-year-old Newfane man has been charged with unlawful mischief after Vermont State Police said he damaged property at a nearby home in the Windham County town on Oct. 21.

Police said they got a call reporting property damage at about 1 p.m. that day. Their investigation found that Pedro Sabater, 76, of Newfane, caused damage to a home near his, according to a news release the state police's Westminster barracks issued Friday.

The release does not describe what was damaged, how the damage was done or how much it might cost to repair. It also does not say whether Sabater was arrested or cited.

Sabater is scheduled to appear Dec. 1 in Windham County Superior Court's criminal division, police said.

The charge is an allegation, and Sabater is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
