Published July 8, 2014 in the Rutland Herald Man violates conditions of release By ERIC FRANCIS CORRESPONDENT WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — A Springfield teenager accused of stealing the gun police believe was used by a former New Jersey resident in a June 11 Springfield shooting was back in court Monday. Police accused Alexander Jillson-Corbosiero, 18, of violating pre-trial release conditions that were spelled out at his arraignment 10 days ago. Jillson-Corbosiero pleaded innocent Monday to two counts of violating conditions and to one count of misdemeanor possession of marijuana before he was released again on the same conditions after signing for a $2,000 unsecured appearance bond. Detectives have alleged that Jillson-Corbosiero stole a .45 caliber handgun from his stepfather’s residence and that Leon Jiggetts, who is in jail awaiting trial for attempted second-degree murder, then used that gun to shoot teenage drug gang member Joseph “Black” Atkinson in the abdomen. Atkinson is recuperating at a medical facility in his home state of New Jersey and is due back in Vermont later this year to face a heroin possession charge. In addition to the latest misdemeanor charges, Jillson-Corbosiero is awaiting trial on felony counts of aiding in an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aiding in a home invasion and acting as an accessory after the fact. During Jillson-Corbosiero’s arraignment June 27, Judge Karen Carroll ordered from the bench that the teenager stay inside his mother’s residence 24 hours a day while his cases are pending and “that he not leave that residence except for court, legal, employment, school or medical appointments and ... if the defendant is outside his residence on one of those exceptions that he have written proof of that on his person.” Springfield Police described Jillson-Corbosiero as “evasive and flippant” when they questioned him late Saturday morning as to why he was sitting outside the Wolson Block in downtown Springfield when he was supposed to be under curfew several streets away. “(He) stated that his attorney told him that as long as his mother gave him permission, he could be out of his house for a couple hours,” Officer Robert Kelcey wrote in his affidavit. Kelcey reported that after police handcuffed him, Jillson-Corbosiero “stated that he had pot in his pocket” and Officer Larry Muldoon removed two bags of marijuana weighing approximately 40 grams from Jillson-Corbosiero’s left rear pocket.
