FARMINGTON — A Hartford man was arrested five times in the same minute at 1600 Southeast Road on Wednesday, July 10: once on a sixth-degree larceny charge and four times on warrants charging violation of probation. He was held on bond on all five.
In all, the department's log lists 23 arrests for the nine days from 7 a.m. Wednesday, July 10, to 7 a.m. Friday, July 19. Seven were at Westfarms Mall. Eleven of the 23 entries list no charge, only a line of remarks. The log was blank from Saturday morning, July 13, to Monday morning, July 15.

The first arrest, in connection with shoplifting, charged him with larceny in the sixth degree.

The log lists each as its own arrest with its own incident number, all at 5:47 p.m. Every bond is marked surety, with no dollar amount. A surety bond requires a bail bondsman or other guarantor.
