Local Heroes and Hapless Villains: Farmington Police’s Arrest Round-Up 🕵️‍♂️🚔 – Sponsored by Farmington Storage, Where Even Air is VIP 💨

Farmington’s Finest Round-Up the Usual Suspects (and Some New Faces Too) 🚓

In Farmington, CT, the slow-news spirit of The Farmington Mercury is alive and well with our latest—and possibly juiciest—arrest report. As always, remember folks: all individuals listed are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. For all those caught somewhere between a high-speed chase and a larceny warrant, we salute Farmington’s finest for giving us this mid-week drama.

Speaking of the finest, thank you to Farmington Storage for sponsoring today’s report. Their secure, museum-quality storage facility, complete with “the only VIP air in the state,” keeps Farmington’s treasures and secrets safe and sound. Now, onto the details!

The Highlights (or Lowlights) from Tuesday

Bryant Serrano, 26, Hartford, CT

• Date & Time: November 5, 2024, 3:32 a.m.
• Location: 301 Colt Highway
• Charges: Improper use of registration markers, failure to renew registration, no insurance, third-degree larceny, operating a vehicle under suspension, reckless driving, resisting arrest, engaging police in pursuit, and evading responsibility.
• Bond: Held on a $75,000 surety bond.

Mr. Serrano’s escapade reads like a plot twist in a bad action movie. Spotted in the wee hours at the Hampton Inn parking lot attempting to swipe some car tires, he reportedly fled the scene, smashing his Toyota Avalon into a police cruiser before hightailing it into the woods. Thanks to a perimeter set up by nearby UConn Health Center and New Britain’s finest (not to mention Farmington’s K-9 hero “Ozzy”), he was apprehended without further incident. Serrano now faces a bouquet of charges that would make even the hardiest lawyer shudder. We’d say lesson learned, but that remains to be seen.

Victoria Aldyth Stephenson, 31, Hartford, CT

• Date & Time: November 4, 2024, 9:42 p.m.
• Location: 319 New Britain Ave
• Charges: First-degree criminal trespass and sixth-degree larceny.
• Bond: Released on a $5,000 non-surety bond.

Ms. Stephenson, with a poetic middle name like Aldyth, was destined for greatness. However, her recent brush with the law involved criminal trespass and theft, leading to a $5,000 bond. No word yet on her defense, but we’re hoping it’s something worthy of Farmington’s “last to break news” reputation.

Andrew David Devin, 30, Farmington, CT

• Date & Time: November 4, 2024, 5:47 p.m.
• Location: 319 New Britain Ave
• Charges: Third-degree criminal trespass and third-degree criminal mischief.
• Bond: $2,000 cash bond posted.

When you’re 30, the only “mischief” you should be dabbling in is picking the wrong Netflix show. But Mr. Devin opted for some third-degree criminal mischief and trespassing, posting his $2,000 bond shortly after. At least he gets to pick up where he left off in Netflix’s fall lineup.

Tracy Lee Edwards, 46, Hartford, CT

• Date & Time: November 4, 2024, multiple arrests throughout the day.
• Locations: 319 New Britain Ave, 500 South Rd
• Charges: Use of drug paraphernalia, criminal trespass, sixth-degree larceny, and multiple charges for second-degree failure to appear.
• Bond: $36,211 across various charges.

The aptly named Ms. Edwards was more than a bit busy on November 4. Between failing to appear in court, shoplifting, and criminal trespassing, she clocked in quite a bill. Despite the day’s serial arrests, Ms. Edwards will have plenty of time to think things over while deciding on her $36,211 bond arrangement.

And A Solo Arrest on Wednesday 🎭

Anthony J. Dambrosio, 29, Terryville, CT

• Date & Time: November 5, 2024, 10:12 a.m.
• Location: GA 14
• Charges: Sixth-degree larceny.
• Bond: A modest $250 surety bond.

Wrapping up our report is Mr. Dambrosio, who made the classic larceny move—though his crime was nowhere near as ambitious as Serrano’s. A mere sixth-degree larceny charge, followed by a $250 bond, makes Mr. Dambrosio the tamest character in our cast.

As we roll out the digital welcome mat for Farmington’s Wednesday, we remind our readers that all parties in this report are innocent until proven guilty—just as all personal effects are innocent until stored with premium, climate-controlled reverence at Farmington Storage on Scott Swamp Road.
