The Farmington Police Department's arrest log for the day ending Tuesday morning carries one name. The arrest came in at 1:19 a.m., the bond was posted, and the case is on Tuesday's docket.
Myron Samuel Attoh, 35, of Bristol, was arrested early Tuesday at 301 Colt Highway by Officer John A. Salute. The charge is §53a-182, Disorderly Conduct — Connecticut's catch-all public-peace charge. The bond was set at $5,000, nonsurety. The remarks line is short: "Arrested in connection with Disorderly Conduct. Posted bond." His court date is the same day as the arrest — Tuesday, May 26, the day this log was filed.
The arrest itself fits on one line. The texture is in the officer.
This is Officer Salute's third appearance in the Farmington logs the Mercury has tracked this year, and the three appearances do not look anything like each other. The first was a DUI arrest on March 21. The second was the May 14 warrant service at the police department that brought in a 71-year-old Meriden man on a 2025 shoplifting case and a 2026 failure-to-appear warrant, held on $10,500. That one happened at 3:45 a.m. inside the building. Twelve days later, Salute's name reappears on a 1:19 a.m. on-scene disorderly-conduct stop on a stretch of Colt Highway, and the man it brings in posts bond and goes home. Three appearances, three different shapes: a DUI in March, a pre-dawn warrant-service detention earlier this month, and now an early-morning on-scene call that ended in release.
Colt Highway itself is worth a note. The Mercury has logged one Colt Highway arrest before this — Officer Jonathan Sotelo's April 29 traffic stop at 360 Colt Hwy, on charges of operating under suspension and operating without minimum insurance. That was a motor-vehicle case. This one is the first arrest the Mercury has tracked at 301 Colt Highway, and the first Colt Highway arrest in the series that wasn't a motor-vehicle stop. Two addresses, two postures, the same corridor.
Disorderly Conduct is not new to these logs. It has surfaced three times before this year — a shared-incident pair, Caron and Faulkner, at the end of April, where the charge ran alongside Assault 3rd, and a solo Disorderly arrest at 319 New Britain Avenue the following day. Attoh's makes four. What is new is the arresting officer: this is Officer Salute's first Disorderly Conduct call in the series.
Attoh is the third Bristol resident the Mercury has logged this year. The first was Madeline Winifred Dominello on the May 8–10 weekend log — three simultaneous failure-to-appear warrants served at Hein Farm, held on $40,000. The second was Gary Donald Berube on May 18, the Meadow Road fatal-crash DUI, held on $500,000 surety. Two prior Bristol arrests, both detentions. Attoh's posted-bond release is the first Bristol-resident outcome on these logs that did not end in being held.
The log is one page. Attoh is presumed innocent. The arraignment is on Tuesday's docket; the rest is for the court to record.

— Jack Beckett has covered the Farmington police log long enough to know that one-page logs deserve more attention than the page count suggests. He is on his third coffee. Officer Salute is on his third arrest. The math is roughly even. ☕
*The Farmington Mercury exists because local news is either absent or exhausting, and we thought we could do something about that. We cover government, police, development, education, elections, and community — which is to say, we cover Farmington. We are the last to breaking news. We are thorough about everything else.
