🗞️ Arrest Log: Farmington’s 24-Hour Crime Spree Peaks at Two

Always last to breaking news—because comedy ages like wine.

‘Love Is a Battlefield’—Protective-Order Edition

Samia Shantell Ramos, 20, of Bridgeport, allegedly decided that a court-mandated “keep your distance” suggestion was merely a polite hint. Farmington Police say she violated a protective order three whopping times at 2 Forest Park Dr. on June 3 at 6:07 p.m. Officer Pacifico T. Flores obligingly supplied the escort downtown, and Ramos posted a $10,000 nonsurety bond faster than most residents post photos of their hydrangeas. Court date: June 4.

‘Paperwork? Never Heard of Her’—Traffic Edition

Earlier the same day, Monique Taja Poitier, 30, of Hartford, allegedly treated New Britain Avenue like a DMV-free zone. Police claim she rocked expired plates, no insurance, and the casual confidence to run a red light—an automotive hat-trick, if you will. Arrested at 3:19 New Britain Ave. at 2:10 p.m., Poitier posted a $2,500 nonsurety bond and now has a June 10 court date penciled between “renew registration” and “Google ‘minimum insurance.’” Officer Kyle Roque handled the cameo.

Small Print for Big Laughs

Everyone listed here is innocent until proven guilty. Consider each charge a dramatic allegation, not a verdict—much like your neighbor’s claim that their lawn “naturally grows that green.”
