SUMMARY OF INCIDENT:
On 8/17/2024, troopers from the VSP Derby Barracks, assisted by Newport Police Officers, arrested wanted person Jason Willey at a residence on Farrar Rd in Newport Town. Willey was the subject of (6) arrest warrants and was additionally wanted by Newport Police on new charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for an incident that occurred in Newport City on 7/23/24, by VSP troopers for vehicle theft, and by VSP troopers for charges related to fleeing from troopers attempting to arrest him on 8/2/24. Willey had been actively avoiding arrest in the weeks following these incidents.
Acting on recent information that Willey was inside, troopers responded to the Farrar Rd residence at approximately 1300 hours. Upon their arrival, Willey attempted to flee on foot but was quickly apprehended by a trooper with assistance from NPD Officers. During this incident, Willey briefly resisted arrest but was successfully taken into custody.
Willey was lodged at the Northern State Correctional Facility on his active warrants, as well as charges from Newport Police. Questions regarding the incident in Newport City should be directed to the Newport Police Dept.
