Arrested in Bozrah, Connecticut: What Happens Next

If you were arrested in Bozrah, your case will be heard at Norwich Superior Court (GA 21). Bozrah is covered by Connecticut State Police Troop E. Here is what happens next and how to reach a defense attorney who practices at this court.

Where the case is heard

New London County. Cases from Bozrah are heard at Norwich Superior Court, 1 Courthouse Square, Norwich 06360.

Who polices Bozrah

Bozrah has no municipal police department and is covered by Connecticut State Police Troop E, so every arrest in town is a state police arrest.

It is a small town with a correspondingly small number of cases, and the practical consequence for a family is simply that the number to call is a barracks rather than a station in Bozrah. There is not one.

Where your case goes

Bozrah cases are prosecuted at Norwich Superior Court, GA 21, a short way east at 1 Courthouse Square. The court page has the parking, which is mostly paid, and the morning docket.

Released by troopers, your date is on your paperwork. Held, court is the next business day.

After the arrest

After booking you are released on a written promise to appear or on a bond, or held for court the next business day, where the bond is reviewed. The arrest page explains booking and the bond and bail page explains the bond.

Family violence is the exception to the timing above: court comes the next business day either way, and the judge issues a protective order at it that stands for as long as the case does.

Ahead of any of that, keep the incident to yourself. Holding calls are recorded and prosecutors read them as a matter of course.

Common charges in Bozrah

The Bozrah docket at GA 21 is among the smallest in the court. What appears is DUI, drug possession, assault, domestic violence and family violence, and larceny and shoplifting. A first offense frequently qualifies for a diversionary program ending in dismissal.
