FARMINGTON — A Torrington man faces charges including first-degree threatening involving a firearm, criminal use of a weapon and reckless endangerment after Farmington police arrested him Thursday evening at Farmington Avenue and Brickyard Road. He posted a $25,000 surety bond.
Four other arrests filled the department's logs for the four days ending at 7 a.m. Monday: a failure-to-appear warrant served Thursday morning, a trespass arrest at Westfarms Mall Thursday afternoon, a DUI arrest on Farmington Avenue Friday night and a Bristol man charged Sunday with engaging police in pursuit. The log for Saturday into Sunday was blank.

11:30 a.m., GA 14. Officer Jeffrey A.

He was arrested at a courthouse the log lists as GA 14. Bond was $5,000, surety. A surety bond requires a bail bondsman or other guarantor. He was held on bond. Court date Jan. 30.

Finn arrested Mark Bradlee Hoxie, 48, of Torrington, and charged him with breach of peace in the second degree, criminal use of a weapon, reckless endangerment in the second degree and threatening in the first degree, which the log lists as "THREAT 1ST-ARMED/DISPL FIREARM."

1:12 p.m., Gaylord Street. Officer Nicholas G. Karangekis arrested Luis Angel Tellado-Morales, 44, of Bristol, on Gaylord Street, an address the log lists with no town, and charged him with a traffic control signal violation, failure to obey a stop sign, reckless driving and engaging police in pursuit.

Jack Beckett has reported on enough Farmington arrest logs to know a stop sign can carry a $10,000 bond if it is listed in the right row. He learned this on his second coffee and is still processing it on his fourth. ☕
