Vermont State Police say an 18-year-old man assaulted a juvenile female victim at an after-prom party in Newport Town early Sunday morning.
Michael Davis is accused of assaulting the victim several times. He allegedly strangulated her, “impeding the victim’s breathing,” bit the victim, “leaving a visible injury,” and struck her, police say. The alleged attack occurred at a home on Buzzell Road.
Davis was found later in the day and placed under arrest for two counts of aggravated assault, police say. He was lodged at Northern State Correctional Facility for lack of $10,000 bail.
