Brattleboro, VT – A 39-year-old Hartland woman was arrested at Windham Superior Court earlier this month after authorities say she failed to appear for a scheduled court proceeding, according to the Windham County Sheriff’s Office.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, Maria May Adams, 39, was taken into custody on Wednesday, December 18, at Windham Superior Court in Brattleboro on an outstanding arrest warrant issued by the court. Deputies say the warrant was connected to Adams allegedly failing to appear for a previously scheduled status conference earlier that same day.
Officials identified Deputy David M. Whittle as the investigating deputy in the case. The arrest was documented under incident number 25WHC005850, according to court and sheriff’s records.
Authorities say Adams was unable to post bail following her arrest. Bail was set at $500, and she was subsequently transported to the Southern State Correctional Facility, where she was held pending further court proceedings.
Court officials listed Adams’ residence as Hartland, Vermont, which is located in Windsor County, approximately 40 miles north of Brattleboro. The arrest itself occurred inside Windham Superior Court, located in Windham County.
No additional details were released regarding the underlying case tied to the missed court appearance. As with all criminal matters, the charges are allegations, and Adams is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
Court records show the next steps in the case will be handled through the Vermont judicial system.
