Troopers say witnesses told them Smallwood hit Robledo with his fists before grabbing a 2-by-4 wooden board and beating Robledo with it.
Robledo was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Smallwood pleaded not guilty in town court and is being held in the county jail without bail. Prosecutors didn’t know if he had a lawyer yet who could comment on the charges.
