Breaking (but not rushing) News: Arrest Report from Farmington, CT
By Jack Beckett – Decaf, Not by Choice
The Farmington Mercury, always proud to be the last to breaking news, brings you an exclusive look at Farmington’s recent arrest log for December 4–6, 2024. Here’s what happened while you were busy ignoring municipal updates.
On December 5, 2024, at 3:55 PM, Farmington Police arrested one Daniel R. Aparo, 35, of Naugatuck, CT. The scene unfolded on the wildly unassuming 00005 Munson Road. Mr. Aparo, likely not having the day he planned, was charged with:
- Criminal Trespass, First Degree (Connecticut Penal Code 53a-107)
- Breach of Peace, Second Degree (Connecticut Penal Code 53a-181)
- Interference with an Officer/Resisting Arrest (Connecticut Penal Code 53a-167a)
For those playing along at home, that’s one count of being somewhere you shouldn’t be, one count of not behaving once there, and one count of not leaving quietly when asked. Aparo was arrested in connection with an incident involving disorderly conduct, which may or may not include yelling, “YOU CAN’T ARREST ME, I KNOW MY RIGHTS!” Spoiler alert: They can and did.
Aparo, displaying more financial foresight than tactical prudence, posted a $5,000 non-surety bond. His next court date is December 11, 2024, where he will presumably explain how this was just a big misunderstanding.
