Local Man Arrested For Attempted Break-in At Courthouse

Anyone wondering why VSEA judiciary unit members are requesting improved security in Vermont’s courthouses?

From a Bennington Banner report:

According to the police affidavit in the case, on March 1, [Ralph] Wright Jr. posted a video on social media of himself entering a code into an employee door of the Bennington Courthouse after the building was closed. An employee at the building alerted police out of concern for a judge who was working in the building at the time. Wright could be heard on the video saying the day and time, then he is seen getting out of his white pickup truck and walking to the side door.

Wright also shot a video of a vehicle belonging to former Judge Justine Scanlon, the same person still working inside the building, mentioning her by name. He then begins kicking the door and, getting no response, begins punching in numbers in an attempt to gain entry.
