Man Arrested for Brutal Church Assault | Montpelier News

Montpelier police responded to a church on Main Street to find a 58-year-old man with severe facial injuries after being brutally assaulted—punched multiple times and thrown to the ground. The 48-year-old suspect, Stefan Kluckner, was arrested on the spot and now faces aggravated assault, disorderly conduct, and violating his own release conditions. Already under court-ordered restrictions, Kluckner’s arrest adds a second layer of legal trouble. The victim, also unhoused, received medical treatment, while witnesses described the attack as violent. Kluckner is jailed at the Northeast Regional Correctional Facility, and his initial hearing has been delayed as the assigned judge has recused themselves.
