A 26-year-old St. Johnsbury man pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges that he threatened to kill everyone at the public library in Groton, then pistol-whipped his mother and held her hostage with a handgun, according to court records.
The alleged incident occurred on July 17. The man faces multiple felony charges, including kidnapping, aggravated assault with a weapon, and terrorizing. He remains held pending further court proceedings.
The suspect is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. Further details about the library threat or the hostage situation were not immediately available.
