Farmington Police Log, April 30: Officer Santiago's Second Southeast Road Arrest in Three Days

Jack Beckett·

The latest Farmington PD log records one arrest: Joshua Anthony Soler of New Britain, charged with Larceny in the 6th Degree at 1600 Southeast Road. The notable part is the arresting officer — Jose R. Santiago, now on his second on-scene arrest at this address in three days, establishing the kind of officer/location pairing the series has not seen outside Officer Aparo at 500 South Road.

Farmington Police Log, May 4: One Arrest at Southeast Road, and a Hotspot Becomes Official

Jack Beckett·

A single arrest in the May 4–6 Farmington PD log — Robert Derron Hinton, 46, of Wethersfield — becomes the third arrest at 1600 Southeast Road in seven days, crossing the threshold this column set for a defined hotspot. The arresting officer is Kyler A. Fausel, not Jose R. Santiago: the pairing breaks at the threshold event and the address is now a multi-officer §53a-125b enforcement location.

April's Fourteen Police Logs: A Month-End Reading

Jack Beckett·

A month-end reading of every police-beat article The Farmington Mercury published in April 2026 — twelve arrest logs, one wire-broken shooting at Forest Park Drive, and one statewide distracted-driving crackdown. The patterns across them: one officer working the mall consistently, one address that won't stop showing up, one conspiracy case spanning three defendants, and a single Tuesday — April 28 — that became the densest 24-hour log of the year on the Farmington beat. Every defendant is presumed innocent.

The Farmington Police Department's 72-hour weekend log for April 24–27 records one arrest: Edward Charette of Wolcott, charged with shoplifting at 500 South Road. With this arrest, Officer Daniel R. Aparo's appearance count reaches six — all six at the same address, all six shoplifting — putting him alone at the top of the series-leading tier.

Two arrests and eight charges in a 24-hour log introduce four new statute categories to the FM series — including §53a-64bb Strangulation 2nd, the most serious new charge debuted in several logs. Officer Malik D. Brown's fifth appearance ties him with Aparo and Smith at the top of the series.

Farmington Police Log, April 27–28: Three Arrests, One Shared Incident Number, and Five Charges at Southeast Road

Jack Beckett·

Three arrests on the Farmington PD log for April 27–28, 2026: a shared-incident dual arrest at 47 New Britain Avenue (Caron + Faulkner, Officer Karangekis) and a five-charge on-scene arrest at 1600 Southeast Road (Seck, Officer Santiago, held on bond). Three first-in-series statutes — §53a-107 Criminal Trespass 1st, §53a-117a Criminal Mischief 4th, §53a-167a Interfere with Officer — debut in a single arrest.
