VT: Secessionist Candidate for Governor Arrested at Gubernatorial Debate

At a recent debate that apparently only included Vermont's Democratic candidates for governor, independent gubernatorial candidate Dennis Steele was arrested for disorderly conduct after "interrupting" the event. In their coverage of the debate, the Barre Montpelier Time Argus reports:
At one of the liveliest events so far in the campaign for the governorship, the five Democratic candidates jostled for political position and sparred as they answered questions on labor and union issues Thursday evening. Adding to the drama, a third-party candidate for governor had to be removed by police after he began interrupting answers by the candidates.
The caption to a photo accompanying the report actually provides more information on the incident than the report itself, stating:
Dennis Steele of Kirby, a candidate for governor with the Second Vermont Republican Party, is arrested for disorderly conduct by Barre Police after interrupting Thursday night's debate.
