FARMINGTON — Farmington police arrested a Farmington man on Tunxis Street Wednesday night in a domestic violence case and charged him with disorderly conduct and second-degree threatening. He posted bond.

It was the only arrest on the department's log for the 24 hours ending at 7 a.m. Thursday.

Wednesday, Jan. 8

10:15 p.m., Tunxis Street. Officer Jonathan Sotelo arrested James Richard Milne, 35, of Farmington, and charged him with disorderly conduct and threatening in the second degree. The log lists a nonsurety bond on the disorderly conduct count, with the amount shown as $0, and no bond type on the threatening count. The remarks read: "Arrested in connection with Domestic Violence. Posted bond." Court date Jan. 9.

Jack Beckett has filed from the Farmington arrest log on nights when it ran three pages and nights when it ran one line. This one was one line, and he still needed a second coffee. ☕
