FARMINGTON, CT — In what local historians are already calling "a Monday," the Farmington Police Department released its arrest log for the 24-hour period ending March 17, 2026 at 7:00 a.m., revealing that two individuals have been charged with a combined five counts of alleged wrongdoing — which, for a town that once debated a zoning variance for three consecutive meetings, practically counts as a crime wave.
The Hartford Visitor: A Warrant, A Bond, and a Brisk Evening on New Britain Ave
At 7:24 p.m. on March 16, 2026, Robert J. Boulay, 44, of 838 Capital Avenue, Apt. 1st, Hartford — yes, Hartford — was arrested at 319 New Britain Avenue by Officer Kyle Roque on a warrant charge of Larceny in the Sixth Degree (C.G.S. §53a-125b).
Sixth-degree larceny, for those keeping score at home, is Connecticut's most polite form of theft — the kind that carries a nonsurety bond of $2,500, which Mr. Boulay reportedly posted before most Farmington residents had finished their post-dinner decaf.
He is due in court on March 30, 2026. Incident No. 2600003317.
The Farmington Mercury reminds readers that Mr. Boulay is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. We also note, with zero editorial commentary whatsoever, that he drove from Hartford to Farmington for this.
The Greenbriar Incident: Home Is Where the Warrant Is
In a more locally rooted development, Jacqueline A. Martin, 51, of 16 Greenbriar Drive, Farmington, was arrested at 5:30 p.m. on March 16, 2026 — at 16 Greenbriar Drive — by Officer Nicholas G. Karangekis.
That is, she was arrested at her own home.
Ms. Martin faces three charges:
- Interfering With an Emergency Call (§53a-183b)
- Disorderly Conduct (§53a-182)
- Assault in the Third Degree (§53a-61)
Her nonsurety bond was set at $5,000, which she posted. Given that her court date was March 17, 2026 — the very next morning — it's safe to say Ms. Martin had a full calendar that week. Incident No. 2600003931.
Ms. Martin is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The Farmington Mercury passes absolutely no judgment and is simply, as always, last to breaking news — and also last to leave the scene, apparently.
A Note on Justice, Due Process, and Common Decency
All persons named in this report are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Arrests represent charges, not convictions. The Farmington Mercury reports what the public record shows and leaves the adjudication to the Farmington Superior Court, which, we assume, is better heated than our newsroom.
