Always Last to Breaking News: Farmington’s Finest Moments of the Week
Another day, another wild ride in the bustling metropolis of Farmington, CT. On December 16, 2024, our local constabulary kept themselves busy with two notable arrests, which, true to form, remind us why we’re thankful for the folks who keep Farmington “safe”—or at least mildly less chaotic. Let’s break it down, because context is what we’re here for. Remember, folks, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Even if they misuse 911.
Arrest #1: The Failure to Appear (and Reappear)
Time of Arrest: 10:17 AM
Location: GA 14
Arrestee: Jeffrey A. Glaude, 33
Charge: Failure to Appear, 2nd Degree (CGS 53a-173)
Bond Amount: $5,000 (Surety)
Remarks: Jeffrey’s big no-no? Forgetting (or choosing not) to show up for court. A re-arrest warrant ensured that his calendar was cleared to rectify the oversight. We’re sure Jeffrey is reflecting on life’s priorities—and perhaps on investing in a better alarm clock.
Arrest #2: The Breach & the Call That Shouldn’t Have Happened
Time of Arrest: 8:32 AM
Location: 319 New Britain Ave
Arrestee: Mariek Vernell Dozier, 29
Charges:
- Breach of Peace, 2nd Degree (CGS 53a-181)
- Misuse of Emergency 911, False Alarm (CGS 53a-180d)
Bond Amount: $2,500 (Non-Surety)
Remarks: Warrant arrests often have a story behind them. Here, we’ve got a combo platter of alleged peace-breaching and a questionable 911 call. While Mariek has since posted bond, we can only hope this adventure inspires others to dial responsibly.
Big Picture: Local Law Enforcement at Work
In the span of just one day, Farmington officers proved that even sleepy towns have their share of drama. Kudos to them for keeping our corner of Connecticut one step closer to sanity—or at least trying.
