Arrested Development in Farmington: Our Week in Local Law Enforcement
Farmington, CT — Good news, Farmingtonians! We’ve got the latest arrest log from the Farmington Police Department’s press release. Yes, we may be late to the party, but we’re here to give you the scoop on some questionable decision-making in your neighborhood. Remember, all suspects are presumed innocent until proven otherwise—so please hold the judgment and enjoy the show.
Scene 1: Lisa Shepard Takes on the Open Road (and Loses)
- Arrested: November 6, 9:55 p.m.
- Location: 164 South Road
- Charges: Lisa M. Shepard, age 39 and a Bolton resident, faces charges of failing to drive in the proper lane (Violation 14-236) and operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs (Violation 14-227a).
- Bond: Shepard posted a $2,500 non-surety bond, set to reappear in court on November 13. We’re crossing our fingers that her GPS keeps her in line until then.
Scene 2: Israel Colon Gets Cozy with the Courtroom (No Need to Travel)
- Arrested: November 6, 11:17 a.m.
- Location: GA 14 Courthouse (yes, it’s a one-stop shop for legal woes)
- Charges: Threatening physical harm (Violation 53a-62(a)(1)), warrant arrest served.
- Bond: $25,000 (ouch). The 27-year-old Hartford resident went from GA 14’s front doors to holding cells without ever needing directions. Efficient? Yes. Regrettable? You decide.
Scene 3: John Scott Pappajohn Stretches the Law—by Just a Little
- Arrested: November 6, 11:05 a.m.
- Location: GA 14 Courthouse (yes, same day, same courtroom)
- Charges: Sixth-degree larceny (Violation 53a-125b), for those of you keeping track at home.
- Bond: $500, warrant arrest served. Pappajohn, 62, hailing from Waterbury, may be a small-time lawbreaker, but he’s facing a big-time headache as his court date looms. Let’s hope he got his five minutes of fame while he could.
Note: Just a friendly reminder, Farmington—every individual here is innocent until proven guilty. Our job is merely to report the who, what, where, and when, with a touch of the dramatic, as is only fair.
