Arrests in Farmington: A Town’s Unexpected Summer Highlight
FARMINGTON, CT – Who says nothing ever happens in Farmington? Our town’s serene streets were anything but calm this week as the local police blotter revealed a series of dramatic arrests. Here’s the scoop on what went down in the heart of Farmington, CT.
A Night on Maple Avenue
First up, the tranquil Maple Avenue was the scene of high drama. At 9 PM on July 29, 2024, the Farmington Police swooped in to arrest Nicholas G. Karangekis, a 38-year-old resident. The charges? Well, it’s quite the list: interfering with an emergency call, breach of peace in the second degree, risk of injury to a child, and assault in the third degree. This action set Karangekis’s bond at a whopping $25,000. A court date is set for July 30, 2024, and the residents are waiting to see what will unfold next.
Morning Mayhem on Lafayette Street
Not to be outdone by his fellow townsman, William E. Leers, aged 40, was nabbed at 10:41 AM on July 29, 2024, on Lafayette Street. Charged with disorderly conduct, Leers is now facing judicial music. His bond was set at $7,500, and like Karangekis, he’ll be appearing in court on July 30, 2024. The arresting officer noted it was a warrant arrest, suggesting a more intricate backstory to Leers’s morning of infamy.
