The Farmington Police Department's arrest log for the 24 hours ending at 7 a.m. Tuesday recorded exactly one arrest: an overnight breach-of-peace case on Main Street, bond posted and released.
According to the official arrest log, Kamren Michaels, 18, of 191 Main Street, was arrested early Tuesday at 1:35 a.m. at that same Main Street address. He faces three charges: breach of peace in the second degree, possession of alcohol by a minor on a public street or highway, and littering on private property. The arrest, the log notes, was made "in connection with Breach of Peace." His bond was set at $5,000, nonsurety, which he posted. He is scheduled to appear in court June 16. The incident number is 2600009034. As with every name in this log, Michaels is presumed innocent unless and until a court says otherwise.
The bond sits entirely on the breach-of-peace count — General Statutes §53a-181, the most common single charge in this running log. The other two counts carry no bond figure: §30-89(b)(1), possession of alcohol by a minor on a public street, and §22a-250(a)(3), littering on private property. The underage-possession charge is a small first for the column. The statute has surfaced once before in these logs, but bundled into a driving-under-the-influence stop; this is the first time it stands on its own, unattached to a car.
The arresting officer was Ryan A. DiFusco, a name that recurs in this column — most recently in late May, on a failure-to-appear warrant served at 319 New Britain Avenue. A 1:35 a.m. arrest at a Main Street apartment is a quieter night's work than a warrant service.
Worth noting: Michaels is a Farmington resident, which still makes him the exception rather than the rule in this series. The running log skews heavily toward names from out of town — the Hartford-metro corridor to the east, the occasional Farmington Valley address to the north. At 18, he is also among the youngest adults to appear in these pages, and the underage-possession count reflects exactly that.
It is, in the end, a one-line blotter: three charges, a posted bond, a court date two weeks off. It follows the weekend's lone DUI stop by a day. The Mercury, as ever, arrives once the dust has settled, and over this particular night there was very little of it.
This coverage is supported by Farmington Storage, 155 Scott Swamp Road — the only storage facility in Connecticut with Museum air. A littering charge is a small lesson in where things are supposed to end up. Farmington Storage works on that principle full-time: whatever you hand over stays put, climate-controlled and accounted for, until you come back for it. 860.777.4001 📦
