FARMINGTON — A Dunkirk, N.Y., man was arrested by Farmington police Wednesday night at Chautauqua Corrections on a warrant charging him with third-degree larceny and third-degree forgery. He was held on a $25,000 surety bond.
The other three arrests in the 48 hours ending at 7 a.m. Thursday were warrants for two drivers, one charging drunken driving and one reckless driving, and a Hartford woman charged with sixth-degree larceny and criminal impersonation in what the log calls a shoplifting case at 1600 Southeast Road.
Tuesday, Nov. 19
11:10 a.m., GA 14. Officer Jeffrey A. Glaude arrested Jose Anibal Martinez, 33, of Bristol, on a warrant charging operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs under section 14-227a of the Connecticut General Statutes, at a courthouse the log lists as GA 14. Bond was $500; the log gives no bond type. The remarks read, "Warrant arrest. Served Habeas." Habeas is short for habeas corpus, the court order used to bring a person who is already in custody before a judge. Court date Nov. 19, the same day.
5:07 p.m., 99 Farmington Avenue. Officer Daniel J. Taylor arrested Garrett Erskine Ruedemann, 21, of Waterbury, on a warrant charging reckless driving under section 14-222. Bond was $200, surety. A surety bond requires a bail bondsman or other guarantor. He posted bond. Court date Nov. 27.
Wednesday, Nov. 20
5:06 p.m., 1600 Southeast Road. Officer Christopher P. Thomas arrested Monazha Akina Lacy, 25, of Hartford, and charged her with sixth-degree larceny and criminal impersonation. The remarks say the arrest was "in connection with Shoplifting." The log lists a nonsurety bond on the larceny charge, with the amount column reading $0, and no bond on the impersonation charge. A nonsurety bond is a written promise to appear; no cash changes hands. She posted bond. Court date Nov. 27.
Under state law, sixth-degree larceny is theft of property or services worth $500 or less, a class C misdemeanor. The log does not say what she is accused of taking, or from whom.
10:48 p.m., Chautauqua Corrections. Officer Daniel M. Rodriguez arrested Jesus Manuel Ramos, 40, of Dunkirk, N.Y., on a warrant charging third-degree larceny and third-degree forgery. Bond was $25,000, surety, on the larceny charge, and none on the forgery charge. He was held on bond. Court date Nov. 21.
