FARMINGTON — The Farmington Police Department logged three arrests in the twenty-four hours ending Friday morning, and this time the bond amounts did most of the talking. They ran from $1,500 to $50,000, a spread wide enough to cover most of what the ladder from misdemeanor to felony has to offer.
Everyone named here is presumed innocent. One posted bond; two were held.
The $50,000 warrant. The largest number belonged to Mickey Quinones, 26, of Hartford, arrested at 10:55 a.m. Thursday by Officer Jeffrey A. Glaude on a warrant charging third-degree burglary and third-degree larceny. Bond was set at $50,000 surety. The log notes the arrest was served on a habeas, meaning Quinones was already in custody elsewhere and produced to answer the Farmington charge. His court date is July 30.
The forgery charge. At 7:21 p.m., Officer Kyle Roque arrested Pedro Julio Castro, 58, of East Hartford, on a warrant charging fifth-degree larceny and first-degree forgery. First-degree forgery is the serious end of that statute, the tier reserved for money, securities, or government-issued documents rather than a signature on a permission slip. Bond was set at $10,000 surety. Castro was held, with a court date of July 31.
And, again, Westfarms. At 1:36 p.m., Officer Joseph G. Aiello arrested Justin Breault, 41, of East Hartford, on a charge of sixth-degree larceny in connection with shoplifting at 500 South Road, the address for the Westfarms mall. Regular readers of this log will recognize the spot. The mall has been the single most dependable source of shoplifting arrests in Farmington for months. Bond was set at $1,500. Breault posted it and is due in court August 13.
The bonds this time ranged over a factor of more than thirty. The addresses did not: none of the three arrested was a Farmington resident.
The Farmington Mercury publishes the Farmington Police Department's daily arrest log as a matter of public record. All individuals named are presumed innocent unless and until convicted. Charges reflect allegations by police, not findings of a court. Bond and court information is drawn from the published log and is subject to change.
