A statement from Vermont State Police said Roland has been placed on paid administrative leave, following protocol under the collective bargaining agreement with the Vermont Troopers’ Association. An internal investigation will be conducted. The case was sent to the Rutland County State’s Attorneys office who will contact another State’s Attorneys office to review the case.
