Farmington Police Log, April 30: Officer Santiago's Second Southeast Road Arrest in Three Days
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.
April's Fourteen Police Logs: A Month-End Reading
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.
Farmington Police Log, April 14–16: 6 Arrests

Farmington Police Log, April 24–27:
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.
Farmington Police Log, May 4: One Arrest at Southeast Road, and a Hotspot Becomes Official
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.
Farmington Police Log, April 16–17: Six Arrest Records, Two People, Five Warrants for One

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, May 15–19: Three DUI Arrests Including a Fatal, Two Westfarms Cases, and a Warrant
Six arrests in a four-day window. Three §14-227a Operation Under Influence charges, including the Meadow Road fatal-crash DUI. Two Westfarms-frontage cases — a fifth-degree larceny and a first-degree trespass — at the same address. One warrant pickup on stacked sixth-degree larceny counts on a Farmington resident. Five posted bond. One held on $500,000 surety.
Farmington Police Log, May 28: Five Records, One Defendant at Westfarms, $70,000 Bond
A Stratford woman, 31, was arrested at Westfarms Mall on Wednesday afternoon and charged with seven offenses across five separately filed incident numbers — an on-scene shoplifting and first-degree trespass plus four warrant records — by Officer Daniel R. Aparo. Cumulative bond on the five records totaled $70,000 surety, and she was held on bond. The event is the second time in the Mercury's tracking of Farmington PD arrest logs that one defendant has been booked on five incident numbers in a single arrest event.
