Farmington Arrest Log: A Week of Regrettable Decisions and Timely Paperwork

All individuals are innocent until proven guilty.

Well, here we are again — another week, another set of questionable choices made within the municipal boundaries of Farmington, Connecticut. At The Farmington Mercury, we are proud to bring you the finest hyper-local news money absolutely does not buy. And so, in keeping with our tradition of always being last to breaking news, here is your delayed, lovingly aged, hand-crafted arrest report.

Before we begin, a warm thank-you to our sponsor, the incomparable Farmington Storage — the only storage facility in Connecticut equipped with Museum Air™, scientifically calibrated to preserve your heirlooms, winter tires, and emotionally-fraught college memorabilia at exactly the humidity level archaeologists recommend.
155 Scott Swamp Road. 860-777-4001. Tell them Jack sent you; they will not care, but I will.

Sunday: Dawn Patrol on Farmington Avenue

Arrested: 11/23/2025 at 04:07
Name: Brittany Sue Galante
Officer: Kyler A. Fausel
Location: Farmington Ave
Charges:
• 53a-181 Breach of Peace 2nd Degree — $15,000 bond
• 53a-63 Reckless Endangerment 1st Degree — $15,000 bond
Remarks: Domestic violence related. Held on bond.

It was 4:07 a.m., which is scientifically the exact time when nothing good has ever happened in the entire history of Farmington. The Farmington Police Department continued its streak of catching people mid-regret, reminding us that “peace” is often an aspirational concept.

Saturday: The DUI Shift

Arrested: 11/22/2025 at 02:52
Name: Damion Shyel St Jean
Officer: Daniel J. Taylor
Location: Farmington Ave
Charges:
• 14-236 Failure to Drive in Proper Lane — No bond
• 14-227a Operating Under the Influence — $2,500 nonsurety
Remarks: Posted bond.

This arrest took place at 2:52 a.m. — a time when the moon is high, the roads are empty, and poor lane control becomes noticeable even to owls. Bond posted. Morning-after headache pending.

Friday: The Mall Called, It Wants Its Stuff Back

Arrested: 11/21/2025 at 16:04
Name: Justin M. Krasnow
Officer: Joseph G. Aiello
Location: 1600 Southeast Rd
Charges:
• 53a-107 Criminal Trespass 1st Degree — No bond
• 53a-125b Larceny 6th Degree — $1,500 nonsurety
Remarks: Arrested in connection with shoplifting. Posted bond.

A crisp late-afternoon arrest — truly the “prime time” of suburban apprehension. Experts say larceny is statistically more likely when within 200 feet of a store selling anything vaguely desirable.

Monday’s Solo Arrest: Trespass, But Make It 12:00 Noon

Arrested: 11/24/2025 at 12:00
Name: Rupert D. Elson
Officer: Aaron M. Benham
Location: 500 South Rd
Charge:
• 53a-107 Criminal Trespass 1st Degree — $1,500 nonsurety
Remarks: Posted bond.

High noon: a classic American time for either a showdown or, apparently, trespassing. Bond posted, dignity not included.

Tuesday’s Feature Presentation: Warrant Edition

Arrested: 11/25/2025 at 20:06
Name: Judas Xebastian
Officer: Malik D. Brown
Location: 239 Middle Tpke E
Charge:
• 53a-125b Larceny 6th Degree — $5,000 nonsurety
Remarks: Warrant arrest. Posted bond.

The only thing more “Farmington Police Department” than an arrest? A warrant arrest. Posted bond immediately, proving once again that liquidity is king.

A Final Reminder

Everyone listed here is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Also presumed: Farmingtonians will continue to make choices, and we will continue reporting on those choices… eventually.
