Vermont State Police said Malcolm Wolfe, 30, kept a household member from calling for help and made that person fear serious injury. He was held on $5,000 bail.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Vt. — A 30-year-old man was arrested on domestic assault and other charges after a reported domestic dispute on Interstate 89 in Williamstown on Nov. 6, Vermont State Police said.

Troopers were called at about 4:55 p.m. to a reported domestic disturbance on the southbound side of I-89 near Exit 5, according to state police. After investigating, troopers determined that Malcolm Wolfe, 30, of Glens Falls, had kept a household member from contacting emergency services and had caused that person to fear serious bodily injury, police said.

Wolfe was charged with domestic assault, interfering with access to emergency services and resisting arrest. State police did not say what led to the resisting arrest charge.

He was taken to the state police barracks in Berlin and then to the Northeast Correctional Complex, where he was held on $5,000 bail. He was cited to appear in Orange County Superior Court's criminal division to answer the charges.

State police did not identify the household member, saying the agency does not release the names of victims of domestic violence.

The charges are allegations, and Wolfe is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
