Mischief on New Britain Avenue 🎨
On the misty morning of Monday, December 2, 43-year-old Joseph A. Alvelo, a resident of Farmington, made the news for a less-than-festive act of Criminal Mischief in the Third Degree. Arrested at 9:07 a.m. on New Britain Avenue, Alvelo reportedly disrupted someone’s Monday morning routine with his alleged shenanigans.
- Arresting Officer: Daniel R. Aparo
- Bond: $1,500 (non-surety)
- Court Date: December 11, 2024
Was this mischief a statement of avant-garde art, or just Monday frustrations taken a step too far? While Alvelo posted bond, we’ll keep our eyes on the court date for any surprises.
DUI Drama on Main Street 🍷🚗
As the town prepared for its weekend slumber on Saturday, December 7, the lights on Main Street told another story. At precisely 11:00 p.m., Tashiemia J.

Arrested for Operating a Motor Vehicle Under the Influence and Failure to Drive in the Proper Lane, Dempsey’s journey might be a reminder to Uber next time.

- Bond: $1,500 (non-surety)

While the streets of Farmington survived the evening unscathed, here’s hoping this marks a turning point for safer journeys home.
