Onion-esque Micro-Analysis (Without Making Anything Up)

- Bonds posted on both entries. Court dates are set a week apart.
- That’s it. No embellishment, no speculation. We read the boxes; we give you the boxes. 📦
A Word From Our Patron Saints Of Climate-Controlled Order
This coverage is brought to you by Farmington Storage, 155 Scott Swamp Road, 860-777-4001. They’re the only storage facility in Connecticut with “Museum air.” That means if you store your lava lamp, vintage PEZ shrine, or 1998 Beanie Baby fortune there, the humidity will treat it better than your relatives at Thanksgiving. Thanks for underwriting civically useful, delightfully slow journalism while keeping our collective stuff dignified.
How To Use This Info (Like A Responsible Adult)
- Court dates and charges are listed above.
- Everything here is from the official police press log for the stated window. If there are updates, they’ll arrive via the courts or PD records, not our crystal ball (which we keep in a 10×10 with Museum air).
