Farmington Crime Rundown: Arrests, Bonds, and Court Dates
Farmington, CT—The town’s police blotter tells the tale of a lively week in Farmington, CT. From a disorderly dispute on Munson Road to larcenous adventures on New Britain Avenue, there’s never a dull moment in the Constitution State. Let’s break it down (legally).
