The Bennington County Superior Criminal Court handed Ezra Miller a sentence totaling one year of hard labor, a $500 fine, and 80 to 90 days of probation for trespass-related conduct, according to the court docket. The ruling reflects the court’s determination of appropriate penalties based on the charges brought before it and the specifics of the incident that prompted the case.
The court order outlines an intentional period of administrative probation lasting one year. During this term, Miller could see the sentence reduced should he meet the required milestones. The regime includes monthly residence reporting to the Vermont Department of Corrections so the supervising inspector can confirm Miller’s address and ongoing compliance.
Additionally, the order imposes a series of conditions designed to address health and safety considerations. Miller is obligated to participate in alcohol and drug testing, and to engage in therapy sessions aimed at mental health support. In total, the probation framework requires adherence to 41 distinct conditions to successfully complete the probationary period.
Initial charges associated with the case included theft, petty theft, and trespassing. On May 1, 2022, the individual at the center of the matter allegedly entered a neighbor’s cellar and removed alcoholic beverages, including gin, vodka, and rum. The court’s decision takes these elements into account as it defines the scope of probation and related obligations.
Previously reported updates indicate that Miller entered a guilty plea to trespassing in connection with the broader set of accusations, with the case continuing to unfold in court proceedings and related reporting. (Court records, Vermont, 2024; press briefings from the clerk’s office)
