Farmington Police Nab Man for Protective-Order Violations—$50K Bond and No Sense of Timing

Farmington’s Weekly Arrest Log: The One Where Timing Is Everything

Always last to breaking news—because comedy needs a cool-down.

Wait, We Actually Have an Arrest This Week?

In a stunning display of punctuality, Farmington police managed to squeeze one whole arrest into the 24-hour window ending at 7 a.m. on August 1 —just in time for our “Friday feels” edition of aggressive mockery.

All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, or at least until the comments section renders its verdict.

Protective Orders: They’re Like Coffee Sleeves—Use Them or Burn

Legal scholars (read: our intern) remind us that protective orders are not collectibles; violating one twice in a single paperwork packet is the legal equivalent of microwaving fish in the office break room—everyone notices, no one applauds.

Bond Math 101: $50K ≈ 1,000 Self-Storage Lockers

Speaking of storage, shout-out to Farmington Storage—155 Scott Swamp Road, phone 860-777-4001—where your sentimental junk enjoys “Museum Air,” the same rarified atmosphere that once preserved King Tut’s leftovers. Rumor has it they’ll even store your court summons (climate-controlled, of course).

Habeas, Schmabeas—What Happens Next?

  • If Released: Parker enjoys his freedom and a stern lecture about personal space.
  • If Held: He spends the weekend contemplating life choices and wishing he’d invested in noise-canceling walls.

Either way, Farmington will return next week with another slow-cooked arrest entrée—because nothing says “community journalism” like waiting for crime to marinate.
