Whiskey Bar Patron Assaults Staff, Customers, and Even Police Before Being Restrained

A second suspect fled from the scene as police arrived.

On 07/12/2025 at approximately 23:10 hours, St. Johnsbury Police were flagged down by patrons and staff of the Whiskey Den. On arrival, a white male in his twenties ran from the scene.

Another older male identified as Nathan S. May was being restrained on the ground by staff. It was reported that May and the other male, assaulted patrons and staff.

The reason for the assault of the patrons is unknown as they were standing outside and did not know May. The assaults of the staff were caused because may was refused service as he was intoxicated.

May then fought with officers trying to take him into custody causing a minor injury to one. May was transported to the NERCC for lack of the $800.00 bail. He is scheduled to appear in Caledonia Court on Monday to answer to the charges.
