Arrested in East Windsor, Connecticut: What Happens Next

If you were arrested in East Windsor, your case will be heard at Hartford Superior Court (GA 14). East Windsor has its own police department, and Interstate 91 runs through town. Here is what happens next and how to reach a defense attorney who practices at this court.

Hartford County. Cases from East Windsor are heard at Hartford Superior Court, 101 Lafayette Street, Hartford 06106.

East Windsor Police Department

Who polices East Windsor

East Windsor has a municipal police department, and arrests in town are made by East Windsor officers. Booking and the initial bond come from there.

Interstate 91 crosses the town, and stops on it may be state police work rather than the town department. The paperwork names the arresting agency, which is what tells you where to call about someone still being held.

Where your case goes

East Windsor cases are prosecuted at Hartford Superior Court, GA 14, south down the interstate. It is a busy docket, so read the court page on arrival and parking before the day.

If you were released, the date is printed on your paperwork. If you were held, you go to court the next business day.

After the arrest

The fork is the bond. A written promise to appear or a posted bond and you leave with a date; no bond and you are held for court the next business day, where a judge can lower it. The arrest page covers booking and the bond and bail page covers what a bondsman charges and why the fee does not come back.

Do not discuss the case with anyone in the meantime, on a recorded line or off one.

A family violence arrest skips the fork: court the next business day either way, and a protective order issued at that appearance which can keep you from your home and your children until the case ends. The arraignment page covers the first date and the what to expect page puts it in sequence.

Common charges in East Windsor

Highway enforcement makes DUI and drug possession a large share of what GA 14 sees out of East Windsor. The rest is assault, domestic violence and family violence, and larceny and shoplifting. Most first offenses have a diversionary program that ends in dismissal, and applying is something someone has to do rather than something that happens.
