FARMINGTON — The Farmington Police Department's log for the 24 hours ending Friday morning contains one name, one warrant and two charge lines. The warrant was served at police headquarters. The log does not describe the underlying incident or say where the alleged conduct occurred.
Thursday, 3:02 p.m., Farmington Police Department. Officer Nicholas G. Karangekis arrested Reaphael Dontrell Givan, 37, of Torrington, on a warrant. Police charged him with first-degree criminal trespass under section 53a-107 of the Connecticut General Statutes and criminal attempt to commit sixth-degree larceny under sections 53a-49 and 53a-125b. The arrest appears under incident number 2600006368.
The log prints a $1,500 nonsurety bond beside the trespass charge and "$.00," exactly as printed, beside the attempted-larceny charge. A nonsurety bond does not require a third-party surety, and the log does not say cash was paid. It says bond was posted. Court date September 3.
One arrest. Two charge lines. The department devotes four words to the arrest: "Warrant arrest. Posted bond."
The next police log covers Friday through Sunday and lists three arrests, including two at 15 Stonegate under one incident number.
