FARMINGTON — A West Haven man was arrested four times in under three hours Monday evening, first in connection with larceny and then on three re-arrest warrants, and was held on bond each time.
The logs for the two days ending at 7 a.m. Tuesday list two other arrests: a Revere, Mass., man held after a domestic violence arrest just before 1 a.m. Monday, and a Farmington man arrested Sunday afternoon on a warrant for failing to respond to an infraction.

Jack Beckett has filed from the Farmington arrest log long enough to recognize a name the second time it comes up in one evening. By the fourth, he had refilled his coffee. ☕
