A 46-year-old Bridgewater, Vt., man has been cited on a charge of criminal threatening, the Vermont State Police said.

Troopers at the state police barracks in Royalton said they got a report about 8 p.m. on Aug. 29 from David Smith, 58, of Bridgewater, who said Lloyd Osmer had threatened him. Investigators concluded that Osmer had committed criminal threatening, according to the state police.

Osmer was issued a citation on Sept. 8 ordering him to appear in Windsor County criminal court on Nov. 3, police said. He was not jailed, and no bail was set, according to the release.

The state police did not describe the nature of the alleged threat or say how the two men know each other.

The charge is an allegation. Osmer has not been convicted and is presumed innocent unless and until he is proved guilty in court.
