Four arrests. Two DUIs. A shoplifting streak that has now outlasted most New England snowstorms. And one person arrested at her own address, which tells you something about the weekend.
The Farmington Police Department's arrest log for March 27 through March 30, 2026 — covering 7 a.m. Friday through 7 a.m. Monday — produced four entries across the weekend. Three of the four defendants are from outside Farmington. The fourth lives on South Road, which makes her both a Farmington resident and a neighbor to the address that keeps producing shoplifters.
Olivia Lauren Terk, 37, of 445 Old Reservoir Road, Wethersfield, was arrested Saturday, March 28, at 8:37 p.m. at 500 South Road by Officer Daniel R. Aparo. She was charged with larceny in the sixth degree (§53a-125b) in connection with shoplifting. Bond: $1,500 nonsurety. She posted bond and was released. Court date: April 10, 2026. Incident number: 2600005149.
This is the fourth shoplifting arrest at 500 South Road since March 21 — Chassidy Cote on the 21st, Alexis Caballero on the 23rd, Hannes Guaman on the 24th, and now Terk on the 28th. Officer Aparo made the Guaman arrest too. He has drawn the 500 South Road assignment, which at this point might as well come with its own desk. All four defendants are from outside Farmington. The merchandise, it seems, is worth the drive.
Russell Scott Hubball, 60, of 78 Osgood Avenue, New Britain, was arrested Saturday, March 28, at 3:54 p.m. at the location the log records as 6/6 by Officer Michael J. Smith. He was charged with failure to drive in the proper lane (§14-236), improper turn or stop without signal (§14-242), illegal operation of a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs (§14-227a), and littering on public property (§22a-250(a)(1)). Bond: $2,500 nonsurety on the DUI charge; the other three carried no bond. He posted bond. Court date: April 13, 2026. Incident number: 2600005122.
The littering charge is new for this series. Four charges on a Saturday afternoon — improper lane use, a missed signal, evidence of intoxication, and something left on public property that was not supposed to be there. Officer Smith was last seen in the March 20–22 log, serving a triple warrant on Asylum Street. He handles variety.
Carlos Manuel Caez, 37, of 30 Sheila Court, Apt. 8, Bristol, was arrested Sunday, March 29, at 3:33 a.m. on Birch Street by Officer Malik D. Brown. He was charged with failure to drive upon the right (§14-230(a)) and illegal operation of a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs (§14-227a). Bond: $5,000 nonsurety on the DUI — the highest in this weekend's log. He posted and was released. Court date: April 13, 2026. Incident number: 2600005157.
Birch Street has now produced two arrests in recent logs. Abigail Bradley was arrested at 8 Birch Street on March 25 for disorderly conduct and assault. Officer Brown made that arrest too. He knows this street. Three consecutive arrest logs have now featured DUI charges — Joseph on Scott Swamp Road, Calandriello at midnight on Forest Street, and now Caez and Hubball in the same weekend. Whatever is in the water this month, it is not good for lane discipline.
Marissa Sophia Ramirez-Rivera, 24, of 271 South Road, Farmington, was arrested Sunday, March 29, at 7:15 p.m. at 271 South Road — her own address — by Officer Kyle Roque. She was charged with criminal mischief in the second degree (§53a-116) and disorderly conduct (§53a-182). Bond: $2,500 nonsurety on the criminal mischief charge. She posted bond. Court date: April 10, 2026. Incident number: 2600005193.
Ramirez-Rivera is a Farmington resident — only the fourth in the entire eight-log series, after Suzanne Paolitto, Heaven Secret Flores, and Abigail Bradley. The overwhelming majority of people arrested in Farmington do not live in Farmington. And then there is Officer Roque. He was the shoplifting specialist — three consecutive shoplifting arrests from March 20 through March 23 at three different locations. Now he is making criminal mischief and disorderly conduct arrests on a Sunday evening. The department rotates its assignments. Criminal mischief in the second degree under §53a-116 involves intentional damage to another person's property. The log says only: "Arrested in connection with Disorderly Conduct. Posted bond." Whatever happened at 271 South Road, it was enough for two charges and $2,500.
All four defendants are presumed innocent. Court dates are April 10 (Terk, Ramirez-Rivera) and April 13 (Hubball, Caez).
