Farmington’s Four-Pack of Alleged Fumbles Parks in Police Log

Area Residents Continue Farmington’s Grand Tradition of Poor Decisions

Nicholas Samuel Faraci, 25, allegedly turned Farmington Avenue into his personal pinball lane at 11:46 p.m. on May 28. Police say he failed to stay in his lane and scored a bonus round for alleged DUI. Bond: a nonsurety $2,500—less than a month of rent for a one-bedroom if he’s lucky. Court date: June 3.

Rush-Hour Happy Hour

At 6:58 p.m. the same day, Jill Lynn Jarrett, 53, reportedly treated the Morea Road/Plainville Avenue intersection like an obstacle course, earning citations for “unsafe movement” and alleged DUI. She, too, posted a $2,500 nonsurety bond and will face a judge June 10.

Warrant Wednesday Came Early

Sancha Aiesha Richards, 35, had the courtesy to meet officers right at HQ at 5:17 p.m. on a larceny-fifth-degree warrant. Bond was set at $5,000, promptly posted—because nothing says “I’m innocent” like Venmo-ing your getaway fund. Court date: June 3.

Time-Traveling Trespasser

On May 27 at 10:00 a.m., Takalia D Baldwin, 45, allegedly trespassed hard enough to need a first-degree charge—and threw in sixth-degree larceny for good measure. A $5,000 surety bond later, she was scheduled in court the very same day, proving punctuality isn’t dead.

Reminder: Everyone named above is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Even the allegedly lane-weaving, court-date-collecting, warrant-welcoming among us.


Sponsor Shout-Out ☁️
