‘Sixth‑Degree’ Swipefest Ends at School & Platner
FARMINGTON, CT — July 10, 2025 — In a thrilling display of bargain‑hunting gone spectacularly sideways, local officers collared Julie Ann Miller, 49, of Bristol on July 9 at 5:30 p.m. near the intersection of School Street and Platner Street, according to the Farmington Police Arrest Log – July 9–10, 2025.
Police allege Miller attempted to liberate select merchandise from an undisclosed retailer, qualifying her for the prestigious “Larceny in the Sixth Degree” club—Connecticut’s petty‑theft participation trophy. Authorities slapped on a $5,000 surety bond, presumably because impulse purchases cost extra when escorted by flashing lights.
Court Date: Free Calendar Reminder Included
Ms. Miller’s encore is scheduled for today, July 10, in Bristol Superior Court. Should she arrive fashionably late, expect another arrest log starring the same cast.
