RANDOLPH, Vt. — A Randolph man has been cited on a charge of unlawful mischief after Vermont State Police said he damaged another person's SUV during a disturbance at a home in town Sunday morning.

Troopers from the Royalton barracks were called to the disturbance at about 8:15 a.m., according to a state police news release. Police said their investigation found that Jacob Lapan, 35, of Randolph, caused damage to the victim's SUV.

The release did not describe the disturbance, the extent of the damage or the relationship between Lapan and the vehicle's owner.

Lapan was not jailed. He was given a citation to appear in Orange County Superior Court's criminal division in Chelsea on Nov. 19 to answer the charge, police said.

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