GUILDHALL — A 61-year-old Vermont man is going to jail for 60 days after being convicted of charges stemming from an armed confrontation he had with a worker on a Guildhall farm.
Michael Cahill was taken to jail Monday after a court appearance in St. Johnsbury where he was sentenced for his role in the July 2010 incident.
Last June Cahill was convicted by a jury of pointing a .45-caliber handgun at a farm employee in Guildhall and then firing a round from the weapon into the woods.
Cahill continues to say he’s innocent of the gun charge.
He says his actions that day were part of a plan to put pressure on the farm that he feels is polluting the environment.
