STOCKBRIDGE, Vt. — Vermont State Police arrested a Stockbridge man Wednesday on a warrant issued after he failed to appear in court on a charge of giving false information to police, according to a release from the agency.

Troopers from the state police barracks in Royalton were on patrol in Stockbridge at about 9 a.m. when they learned that Christian M. Rogers, 57, of Stockbridge, had an active warrant for his arrest, police said.

The warrant stemmed from Rogers' failure to appear in court on Aug. 24 on the original charge of providing false information to police, according to the release. Bail on the warrant was set at $200, police said.

Rogers was arrested, taken to the Royalton barracks and later brought to Vermont Superior Court in Windsor County, where he was scheduled to appear at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday to answer to the charge, police said.

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