Farmington’s Wild Thursday: From Peace Breaches to Shoplifting Sprees

FARMINGTON, CT – The sleepy town of Farmington has recently been anything but calm, with a series of arrests adding some unexpected excitement to our quaint New England backdrop. From shoplifting sprees to breaches of peace, let’s delve into the latest shenanigans that have Farmington buzzing.

Breach of Peace: Richard E. Bianchi Strikes New Britain Avenue

First up, we have Richard E. Bianchi, 43, of Hartford, who was arrested on July 18th at 6:22 PM on New Britain Avenue. Charged with a second-degree breach of peace, Bianchi managed to post a $1,500 nonsurety bond. The details of his peace-breaching escapades remain under wraps, but it’s clear that Bianchi’s behavior wasn’t winning any good neighbor awards.

Shoplifting Spree: Barbara Hasiuk Hits South Road

On July 17th, 64-year-old Barbara Hasiuk from Enfield added some flair to her shopping routine at 500 South Road. Charged with fifth-degree larceny, Hasiuk was caught in a shoplifting incident that landed her a $2,500 nonsurety bond. Perhaps she mistook “shopping” for “free for all”? Who’s to say?

The Many Faces of Alyssa Shantel Stewart: A Triple Threat

Alyssa Shantel Stewart, 27, also from Hartford, certainly kept the Farmington Police Department on its toes. Arrested three times on July 17th, all at 500 South Road, Stewart faced charges ranging from sixth-degree larceny and interfering with an officer to two counts of second-degree failure to appear. With bonds totaling $6,000, Stewart’s unfortunate events included resisting arrest and multiple court dates. Talk about a busy day!

A Burglary Duo: Luis Rodriguez’s Dramatic Arrests

Luis Rodriguez, 26, of East Hartford, was the star of a real-life crime drama on July 17th. Arrested twice in one day, once at 14 GA and again at Hartford Superior Court, Rodriguez faced a slew of charges, including conspiracy to commit third-degree burglary, first-degree criminal mischief, and third-degree larceny. With bonds set at $40,000 and $25,000, respectively, Rodriguez’s criminal endeavors certainly didn’t go unnoticed.
