The Farmington Police Department's press arrest log for the 24-hour window ending 7 a.m. Friday lists six incident records. It names two people.
One of them, 23-year-old Honesty Love Tirado of New Britain, accounts for five of the six records: one conspiracy and identity-theft case, and four separate re-arrest warrants — three for violation of probation and one for failure to appear — served on her in the same building, at the same minute, on Thursday morning. Surety bonds across her five records total $105,000. She was held.
The sixth record belongs to Sincere Hector Tirado, 20, of West Haven, who was arrested early Friday morning at the same address on conspiracy and identity-theft charges tied to Honesty's case. His bond totaled $10,000. He posted it and was released. He shares a surname with Honesty. He does not share an address, a hometown, or, according to the record, an age cohort. The log does not describe a relationship, and the Mercury will not infer one.
Both arrests originated at 319 New Britain Avenue — the Farmington Police Department's own address. That location has now shown up in the Mercury's running log series as a recurring warrant-service site, which makes it the second location in Farmington, alongside 500 South Road (the Westfarms Mall), that appears in these logs with any frequency. The patterns at the two locations are, however, nothing alike. 500 South Road is where shoplifting calls come in live. 319 New Britain Avenue is where people come in later — processed on warrants issued elsewhere, or served with re-arrest paperwork stacked against them by the court.
The Conspiracy Case
Honesty Tirado was arrested Thursday morning at 10:40 a.m. on a warrant charging her with Conspiracy to Commit Larceny in the 6th Degree (§53a-48 / §53a-125b), a standalone count of Use of a Revoked Payment Card under $500 (§53a-128d), Conspiracy to Commit the same, Receipt from Illegal Use of a Credit Card (§53a-128g), Conspiracy to Commit that charge as well, and Identity Theft in the 3rd Degree (§53a-129d). Surety bond on the incident was set at $5,000 on the larceny-conspiracy count and $5,000 on the identity-theft count.
Three of those charges appear for the first time in the Mercury's running log of Farmington PD arrests. Identity Theft in the 3rd Degree made its series debut on April 8 with the Cepeda shoplifting case, and returns here as a substantive charge rather than an add-on. The arresting officer on Honesty Tirado's conspiracy case was Jose R. Santiago, who previously appeared in the log on the April 2–7 window serving a warrant at the same station.
The shared incident number — 2600003909 — ties Honesty Tirado's Thursday conspiracy arrest to Sincere Tirado's Friday arrest. Sincere was taken into custody at 5:11 a.m. on Friday at 319 New Britain Avenue. He faces three charges, all with the §53a-48 Conspiracy prefix: Larceny 6th Degree, Use of a Revoked Payment Card under $500, and Identity Theft 3rd Degree. Bond on his case was set at $10,000 on the identity-theft count, and he posted it. His court date is May 1. His arresting officer, Daniel J. Taylor, appears in the log for the first time.
The department has not released a narrative summary of the underlying conspiracy, and the log does not identify which alleged transactions occurred where. Both defendants are presumed innocent. The shared incident number establishes, in the language of the record, that they are co-defendants on the same case — not that they were arrested together, not that they were the only people involved, and not that any element of the alleged conduct has been proven in court.
This is the second conspiracy-structured case to appear in the Mercury's running log in under two weeks. The first, on the April 14–16 log, involved Chandrawattie Harry and Tajwantie Singh, both of Hartford, charged with Larceny in the 4th Degree and Conspiracy to Commit. That pairing was the first co-defendant case in the series. The Tirado case is the first in which the two defendants share a surname. The Mercury does not know, and will not guess, what else connects them.
The Warrant Stack
The other four records on the log all belong to Honesty Tirado. All four are re-arrest warrants. All four were served at 10:40 a.m. on Thursday at 319 New Britain Avenue. All four were logged by Officer Santiago. They read, in order:
- Incident 2600006273 — Violation of Probation, §53a-32, surety bond $25,000.
- Incident 2600006274 — Violation of Probation, §53a-32, surety bond $50,000.
- Incident 2600006275 — Violation of Probation, §53a-32, surety bond $10,000.
- Incident 2600006276 — Failure to Appear 1st Degree, §53a-172, surety bond $10,000.
None of those four charges had previously appeared in the Mercury's running series. Violation of Probation is a statute that effectively reactivates a prior case — a probationer returns to court on the same underlying charge, not a new one — and failure-to-appear charges attach to cases where a defendant missed a scheduled court date. The record does not say what the underlying cases are. The court will.
Combined with the $5,000 she was held on from the conspiracy count and the $5,000 held on the identity-theft count, Honesty Tirado's cumulative bond on the log totals $105,000 surety. She was held. Her court date for all five incidents is Friday — today — in the Hartford Geographic Area 18 court, which, for readers keeping score at home, is not in Farmington.
Two Names, One Log
Two unique suspects is a low number for a single-day log. Six incident numbers on one morning is a high one. Four re-arrest warrants bundled into a single arrival is higher still. Officer Santiago, who last appeared in the Mercury's log series serving a warrant the first week of April, is now credited as the arresting officer on at least six Farmington incident numbers tied to two people over two logs. That is not a commentary on Santiago. That is a commentary on what arrives at 319 New Britain Avenue when the court sends the paperwork.
The underlying question — what the Tirados are alleged to have actually done, where they are alleged to have done it, and how the four probation cases came to stack up on one defendant on one Thursday morning — is the one the log does not answer. That is the court's document to produce, and it is not yet in the record.

— Jack Beckett has covered Farmington's police beat long enough to tell the difference between a warrant and a re-arrest warrant, which is the kind of thing no one should have to know and, as of this log, he definitely does. He is on his second coffee. He regrets the second coffee slightly less than the first. ☕
The Farmington Mercury covers the town nobody else is covering — the zoning meeting that ran until 10 p.m., the police log that is technically public record but that you'd never find unless someone typed it up, the board of education vote that determines what your kids learn about next year. We publish slowly, deliberately, and without apology.

Update, April 28, 2026: Officer Jose R. Santiago logged a second on-scene event in the FM series — a five-charge response at 1600 Southeast Road on April 27, which also ended in detention. Both Santiago arrests in the series have so far ended with the defendant held rather than released.
Update, May 1, 2026: Santiago made a third FM-series appearance on April 30 — a second on-scene arrest at 1600 Southeast Road in three days, this time a single Larceny 6th charge against Joshua Anthony Soler of New Britain. The April 30 arrest moves Santiago to three events in the series and establishes the Santiago + 1600 Southeast Road officer/location pairing — the second such pairing after Aparo + 500 South Road. It is also the first Santiago arrest in the series to end in release after posted bond rather than detention.
