FARMINGTON — The Farmington Police Department's arrest log for the five days ending at 7 a.m. Tuesday, a stretch that took in the Columbus Day weekend, lists three arrests. One of them is a man arrested on the same charge for the fourth time on the logs the Mercury holds.
The previous log covered the 24 hours before this one and had no arrests at all.
Thursday, Oct. 8
11:10 a.m., 6 Colt Highway. Officer Grace L. Petersen of the Farmington Police Department arrested Gannon Montgomery Patrick, 21, of Farmington, on a charge of criminal trespass in the first degree. Bond was $2,500, nonsurety, a written promise to appear. The remarks line reads "Arrested in connection with Trespassing. Posted bond." Court date Oct. 22.
It is Patrick's fourth arrest on that charge on the logs the Mercury holds: June 8, July 15, Oct. 6, and now Oct. 8, two days later. The first three each carried a $1,500 nonsurety bond. This one is $2,500. It is still a promise.
Sunday, Oct. 11
3:03 a.m., 45 South Main Street. Officer Michael J. Smith arrested Erik Juan Pablo Granda, 19, of Bristol. The log lists five charges:
- failure to drive upon the right
- failure to drive in the proper lane
- driving with a blood alcohol content of .02 while under 21
- operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- possession of alcohol by a minor on a public street or highway
The five charges share one bond: $1,000, surety, on the operating-under-the-influence charge. The other four are listed at zero. The remarks line reads "Arrested in connection with Driving Under the Influence. Posted bond." Court date Oct. 26.
Monday, Oct. 12
8:51 p.m., Plainville Avenue. Officer Michael A. Meier arrested Kajunkajic Cargill, 18, of Farmington, on a charge of disorderly conduct. Bond was $5,000, surety, and the remarks line reads "Arrested in connection with Disorderly Conduct. Held on bond." His court date was Tuesday, Oct. 13.
The log does not say what led to the arrest.
A search of every Farmington arrest log the Mercury holds, back to July 2023, turns up neither Granda nor Cargill anywhere else.
Everyone named here is presumed innocent, and an arrest log records charges, not outcomes.
