Woman Sentenced to Prison for Attempted Murder and Domestic Assault

Tamara Stone, 51, was arrested on June 24, 2024, and charged with two counts of attempted second-degree murder and one count of first-degree aggravated domestic assault. The Vermont State Police executed the arrest warrant following a stabbing incident in Brandon, according to reporting from WPTZ.

What charges does Tamara Stone face?

Stone is facing three felony charges related to a violent encounter in Brandon. According to the arrest warrant, these include two counts of attempted second-degree murder and one count of first-degree aggravated domestic assault. These charges stem from an investigation into a stabbing incident involving relatives, as reported by WPTZ.

The charges indicate that the victims of the attack were family members, which triggered the aggravated domestic assault charge. The Vermont State Police led the investigation into the incident and requested the warrant for Stone’s arrest.

How was the arrest executed?

Vermont State Police took Stone into custody on June 24, 2024. Following the arrest, she was jailed on the active warrant. Stone was subsequently processed and held at the Triangle Court residence for her legal proceedings, according to court records and local reporting.

The arrest followed a search and investigation by state authorities to locate Stone and bring her before the court to answer the murder and assault allegations.

What happened during the Brandon stabbing?

The specific details regarding the timeline and the exact nature of the stabbing remain part of the ongoing investigation. However, the Vermont State Police identified the event as a domestic incident involving the use of a knife. The severity of the injuries sustained by the victims led investigators to seek attempted second-degree murder charges rather than lower-level assault charges, according to the warrant information reported by WPTZ.

Authorities have not released the names or the current medical conditions of the victims involved in the attack.

What happens next in the legal process?

Stone has been arraigned on the charges. The legal process will now move toward preliminary hearings where a judge will determine if there is sufficient evidence to proceed to trial. Because the charges involve attempted murder and aggravated domestic assault, the case is handled within the Vermont superior court system.

Stone remains in custody pending further court appearances.
