state police barracks. police confronted senator norm mcallister at the vermont state capital during a break in the senate debates yesterday. they arrested him at the stale capitol. at one point, two other republican state senators briefly stepped in during the arrest to act as his lawyer, while the police questioned him. but then today in court, the senator entered a plea with a different lawyer. he entered a plea, not guilty, on all counts. three of the charges against him carry a possible sentence of life in prison. he's out on bail now, on $20,000 bail. we reached out to senator mcallister this evening for comment. if we hear back, we will let you know. but tonight, it remains an open question whether this state senator will resign or try to stay in office while fighting these charges. and nationwide, a new bar has perhaps been reached for what you can stay in office while facing in a court of law.
