FARMINGTON — An East Hartford woman was arrested at Westfarms Mall on Monday evening and charged with fourth-degree larceny, the only arrest on the Farmington Police Department's log for the 24 hours ending at 7 a.m. Tuesday.

Monday, Oct. 19

6:58 p.m., 500 South Road (Westfarms Mall). Officer Grace L. Petersen of the Farmington Police Department arrested Sharonda L. Graham, 50, of East Hartford, and charged her with larceny in the fourth degree. The remarks line reads "Arrested in connection with Shoplifting. Posted bond." Court date Nov. 2.

Bond was $5,000, nonsurety. A nonsurety bond is a written promise to appear with a dollar amount attached; no cash changes hands.

Under state law, fourth-degree larceny means stealing property or services worth more than $1,000, and it is a class A misdemeanor.

The log does not say what was taken or from which store.

Jack Beckett has filed from the Farmington arrest log often enough to spell "nonsurety" on the first try. The Mercury is, as promised, the last to tell you. He is on a coffee he has already reheated once. ☕
