FARMINGTON — A Hartford woman was arrested three times in the same minute at Westfarms Mall on Wednesday afternoon, once in connection with shoplifting and twice on re-arrest warrants, and was held on bond.

The department's log lists four other arrests for the two days from 7 a.m. Wednesday to 7 a.m. Friday: two burglary cases served on an East Hartford man at two courthouses, an Enfield woman at the mall and a Hartford man on New Britain Avenue.

Wednesday, July 17

9:46 a.m., Hartford Superior Court and a courthouse the log lists as GA 14. Two officers arrested Luis Rodriguez, 26, of East Hartford, at the same minute on two separate cases. Officer James A. McKeown arrested him at a courthouse the log lists as GA 14 on charges of conspiracy to commit burglary in the third degree, burglary in the third degree, conspiracy to commit criminal mischief in the first degree, criminal mischief in the first degree, attempted larceny in the third degree and conspiracy to commit larceny in the third degree. Officer Alexa N. Hopkins arrested him at Hartford Superior Court on charges of burglary in the third degree, criminal mischief in the first degree and attempted larceny in the third degree. The remarks on both read: "Habeas arrest. Held on bond." The first case marks bond as surety; a surety bond requires a bail bondsman or other guarantor. Neither case lists a dollar amount. Court date July 17 on both.

4:01 p.m., Westfarms Mall, 500 South Road. Officer Richard E. Bianchi arrested Alyssa Shantel Stewart, 27, of Hartford, three times, each with its own incident number. The first, in connection with shoplifting, lists no charge. The second, a re-arrest warrant, charges failure to appear in the second degree, the charge for missing a court date, with bond marked surety and no amount. The third, also a re-arrest warrant, lists no charge. She was held on bond on all three. Court date July 18.

5:10 p.m., Westfarms Mall. Officer John M. Finn arrested Barbara Hasiuk, 64, of Enfield. The log lists no charge; its remarks read: "Arrested in connection with shoplifting. Posted bond." Court date July 24.

Thursday, July 18

6:22 p.m., 319 New Britain Avenue. Officer Bianchi arrested Eduardo Carmona, 43, of Hartford. The log lists no charge; its remarks read: "Arrested in connection with breach of peace. Posted bond." Court date July 24.

Seven arrests, and not one bond amount above zero.

Jack Beckett has covered the Farmington arrest log long enough to read "Re-arrest warrant" without flinching. Reading it twice in one minute took a second coffee. ☕
