Arrests in Farmington: A Spirited Breakdown of the Week’s Events
Ah, Farmington, CT—home to picturesque landscapes, colonial charm, and, occasionally, a colorful arrest log that spices up the town’s tranquility. This week has been no exception. Here at We Are Farmington, we’ve compiled the most riveting details of the recent run-ins with the law to keep you entertained, informed, and maybe even a little bemused.
Sunset Terrace: Not So Peaceful After All
Nicholas G. Karangekis, a 66-year-old Sunset Terrace resident, was handcuffed on the evening of July 25th. Arresting officer Tolman Kevin C. nabbed him on charges of breach of peace in the second degree. The kerfuffle, stemming from a domestic dispute, ended with Karangekis posting a $5,000 bond. Nothing says “domestic bliss” like a night at 51 Sunset Terrace, right?
Larceny Loves Company
July 23rd and 24th brought their share of larceny enthusiasts into the spotlight. Michael J. Smith, a 23-year-old from Hartford, was arrested in Newington for sixth-degree larceny. A mere $500 bond later, Smith was back in the wild, presumably clutching his loot tighter than ever. Meanwhile, Anthony C. Lustrinelli, a 71-year-old from East Windsor, couldn’t resist the siren call of fifth-degree larceny at 399 Farmington Avenue. Released on a promise to appear, Lustrinelli surely left the scene pondering the high price of petty theft.
Fast and Furious: Farmington Edition
John M. Finn, 28, of New Britain, decided that the roads of Farmington were his racetrack. Arrested at the unholy hour of 12:47 AM on July 27th, Finn faced a litany of charges, including speeding over 60 mph, improper use of markers, operating an unregistered vehicle, and, oh yes, DUI. With a bond set at $5,000, Finn’s joyride ended as abruptly as it began—on Scott Swamp Road, no less.
Domestic Drama: A Recurrent Theme
Farmington Police kept busy with more domestic discord. Daniel R. Aparo, 66, was brought in for violating the conditions of his release. Kevin C. Tolman (yes, the same dedicated officer) managed another arrest, ensuring Aparo spent a memorable day at the Farmington Police Department before posting a $10,000 bond.
Meanwhile, Aaron M. Benham, a 53-year-old from Southington, felt the sting of violating a standing criminal protective order. Arrested on Litchfield Road, Benham’s actions led to a non-surety bond of $10,000. It seems Litchfield Road offers more than scenic drives.
