Cambridge, VT – 08/29/13 – Today, following the 3:30PM armed robbery at Kinney Drugs in Cambridge, the Vermont State Police made three arrests in relation to the incident with the assistance of Lamoille County Sheriff’s Department, Stowe Police Department, Morristown Police Department, Hardwick Police Department, and Vermont Fish and Game wardens.
Based on an accurate description and plate number provided by witnesses outside the drug store, law enforcement officers were able to identify the suspect vehicle as a 2004 silver Pontiac Grand AM. The vehicle was located at 4:17PM and stopped by troopers from the St. Albans Barracks on the North Cambridge Road near the junction of Vermont Route 108 in Fletcher. Troopers made contact with one male occupant and two female occupants identified as Russell John Thaxton, age 38 of Starksboro; Amanda Tetrault, age 31 of Eden; and Jennifer Stancliff, age 30 of Morrisville.
All three individuals were taken into custody and transported the Lamoille Outpost for suspicion of armed robbery. Through the course of interviews, information provided by witnesses, and evidence collected; detectives learned that all three individuals entered the store. Thaxton was wearing a jacket with hood up, mask type hat, pants, and sunglasses. After several minutes in the store Thaxton pulled down the mask and displayed a handgun to the pharmacist demanding all the opiates and stimulants. Upon taking the stolen prescription drugs, all three left the drug store in the Grand AM.
Thaxton was subsequently arrested for Assault and Robbery. He was then returned to the custody of the Vermont Department of Corrections on a Mittimus for Escape-Furlough to be lodged at the Northeast Correctional Facility. Thaxton will be arraigned at a later date. Tetrault and Stancliff were both arrested and are scheduled to appear in Lamoille Criminal Court on August 30, 2013 to answer to the charges of Accessory Aiding in the Commission of a Felony.
