Farmington Police Log, August 24: One Arrest, One Charge, and Two Sentences That Explain Very Little

Farmington police listed one arrest Monday on a violation-of-probation charge. The two-sentence remarks field repeats the charge and posted bond but does not explain the alleged probation violation.

Farmington Police Daily Arrest Report

FARMINGTON — The Farmington Police Department's log for the 24 hours ending at 7 a.m. Tuesday lists one arrest. It supplies the time, place, name, charge, bond and court date. It does not say what allegedly constituted the probation violation.

Monday, 11:10 a.m., Farmington Police Department. Officer Daniel R. Aparo arrested Ela Mydlo, 71, of Simsbury. Police charged her with violation of probation under section 53a-32 of the Connecticut General Statutes. The log lists incident number 2600013801.

The charge table lists a $5,000 surety bond. The listed court date is September 15, 2026.

The remarks field is not where the missing explanation turns up: “Arrested in connection with Violation of Probation. Posted bond.” The first sentence restates the charge. The second confirms the bond status. That is the full remarks field.

Readers looking for what allegedly constituted the probation violation have now reached the end of the page.

The preceding weekend log covered Friday through Sunday and listed three arrests. Tuesday's report lists one.

This coverage is supported by Farmington Storage, 155 Scott Swamp Road, the only storage facility in Connecticut with Museum air. The police report has spare room. Farmington Storage understands the appeal. 860.777.4001 📦
