Title: Farmington’s Recent Arrests: A Real-Life Drama, Sponsored by Farmington Storage
In a shocking turn of events that could only be rivaled by the latest blockbuster crime series, Farmington, Connecticut, has once again proven that even the quietest towns have their moments of drama. In the last week, our very own Farmington Police Department has been busy corralling the latest stars of our local reality show: “Farmington’s Most Arrested.”
Let鈥檚 start with the man of the hour: Edward M. Dias, a 49-year-old from West Haven. This week, Mr. Dias has become the unfortunate poster child for the phrase, “When it rains, it pours.” Not content with just one run-in with the law, Dias made his rounds with the Farmington PD a triple feature.
First, on the evening of August 19th, Dias was arrested not once, not twice, but three times. At 5:55 PM, he was nabbed on Southeast Road for a veritable grab bag of charges, including theft, possession of shoplifting devices (because why not?), and using drug paraphernalia鈥攚hat some might call the criminal equivalent of the “sampler platter.”
Just a couple of hours later, at 7:17 PM and 7:20 PM, respectively, Dias was picked up again, this time on New Britain Avenue, for a violation of probation and a failure to appear in court. Rumor has it that Dias might have misunderstood the phrase “making an appearance” and thought it meant multiple police mugshots in a single night. With bonds totaling up to $30,000, Mr. Dias may want to consider staying in one place for a while鈥攍ike perhaps a local storage unit at Farmington Storage. They offer great deals!
But wait, there’s more. Joining the illustrious list of those who鈥檝e had a “bad day” is Michael A. Meier, a 42-year-old hailing from Revere, Massachusetts. Arrested just after midnight on August 19th, Meier was involved in what can only be described as a domestic drama. Charged with breach of peace, disorderly conduct, and making threats while brandishing a firearm, Meier鈥檚 night was one straight out of a gritty police procedural. His bond? A cool $50,000. That’s a lot of Farmington Storage units.
And let鈥檚 not forget David Arnold Occhialini, who proves that sometimes, the simplest infractions can lead to a big deal. Arrested on August 18th for failing to respond to an infraction, Occhialini might just be the cautionary tale of the week: don鈥檛 ignore those parking tickets, folks, especially if you don鈥檛 want to be re-arrested and featured in your very own Farmington PD saga.
So, there you have it鈥擣armington’s latest round of arrest reports. Our quiet town has more excitement than it lets on. Whether it鈥檚 theft, probation violations, or a bit of disorderly conduct, the drama is real, and it鈥檚 happening on our streets.
And remember, if you need a place to store all that emotional (or literal) baggage, our wonderful sponsor, Farmington Storage at 155 Scott Swamp Road, is just a call away at 860.777.4001.
