Who polices Bolton
Bolton has no municipal police department. The town is covered by a resident state trooper assigned from Connecticut State Police Troop K, based in Colchester.
Troop K rather than Troop C is worth knowing for one practical reason: the barracks you call about someone being held is not the one nearest the courthouse. Route 6 and Route 44 both run through Bolton and carry most of the traffic enforcement in town, so a fair number of Bolton arrests begin as stops on one of them. The court is the same either way.
Where your case goes
Bolton cases are heard at Rockville Superior Court, GA 19, in the Rockville section of Vernon, just north of town. That is worth noting because the trooper who arrested you works out of Colchester, in the other direction: the barracks and the courthouse are not in the same place. The court page has the parking and the docket.
Released after the arrest, your date is on your paperwork. Held, you go to court the next business day.
After the arrest
The trooper either releases you on a written promise to appear, sets a bond you can post, or holds you for court the next business day. Released, the date is on your paperwork. Held, the judge reviews the bond at the first appearance and can lower it. The arrest page covers booking and the bond and bail page covers the money.
Family violence is the exception: court the next business day whether or not you were released, and a protective order issued there. It can order you out of your own home for the length of the case, which is months rather than days.
Before any of that, stop discussing the case. Recorded calls from holding are used by prosecutors routinely, and an explanation offered to a trooper at the roadside is not off the record. The arraignment page explains the first court date and the what to expect page explains where it leads.
Common charges in Bolton
The two road corridors put DUI and drug possession high on the list of what GA 19 sees out of Bolton, most of it from traffic stops. Domestic violence and family violence, assault, and larceny and shoplifting make up the rest. A first offense often has a diversionary program that ends in dismissal, and which one applies depends on the charge.
