FARMINGTON — A Waterbury woman was charged Sunday afternoon with first-degree larceny and larceny of a motor vehicle and held on a $10,000 bond.
It was the only arrest in the 24 hours ending at 7 a.m. Monday.
Sunday, Dec. 22
3:11 p.m., 319 New Britain Avenue. Officer Nicholas G. Karangekis arrested Jasmin Mari Lugo, 26, of Waterbury, and charged her with first-degree larceny and larceny of a motor vehicle, first offense. Bond was $10,000, nonsurety, on the first-degree larceny charge, and none on the motor vehicle charge. A nonsurety bond is a written promise to appear with a dollar amount attached; no cash changes hands. The remarks read, "Arrested in connection with Motor Vehicle Theft. Held on bond." Court date Jan. 2.
Under state law, first-degree larceny includes theft of property worth more than $20,000. The log does not say what vehicle is involved, what it was worth, or whose it was.

Jack Beckett has reported on the Farmington arrest log long enough to know that "held" on a nonsurety bond is a sentence worth reading twice. He read it twice, then got a second coffee to read it a third time. ☕
