Farmington Arrest Log: What Actually Happened (Allegedly)
In the grand tradition of being “Always last… to breaking news,” The Farmington Mercury has once again done what few dare: read every line of the latest Farmington Police Department press arrest logs so you don’t have to squint at PDFs over your morning coffee.
Before we dive in:
➡️ Everyone named below is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
They have been charged, not convicted. The following is drawn directly from Farmington Police Department press arrest logs, with youths already redacted by the department.
Also, this public-service slog through statutory citations is brought to you by Farmington Storage at 155 Scott Swamp Road, Farmington, CT, phone 860-777-4001—the only storage facility in Connecticut with “museum air.” When your own life choices feel a little third-degree, at least your belongings can be curated like they’re on loan from the Smithsonian. 📦
What follows is a complete, date-stamped, time-stamped, statute-numbered roundup of the adult arrests reported in the logs covering November 19–21, 2025 and December 1–3, 2025, in Farmington, CT.
