Arrested in Lebanon, Connecticut: What Happens Next

If you were arrested in Lebanon, your case will be heard at Norwich Superior Court (GA 21). Lebanon is covered by a resident state trooper from Troop K rather than a town department. 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 Lebanon are heard at Norwich Superior Court, 1 Courthouse Square, Norwich 06360.

Who polices Lebanon

Lebanon is covered by a resident state trooper assigned from Connecticut State Police Troop K. There is no municipal police department, so the officer who arrests you in Lebanon is a state trooper.

A resident trooper is assigned to the town rather than passing through, which means the same officers tend to handle the same calls. For a reader the points that matter are that booking runs through the state police and that the troop, not a local station, answers a question about a bond.

Where your case goes

Lebanon cases are prosecuted at Norwich Superior Court, GA 21, at 1 Courthouse Square. The court page covers the parking, which is mostly paid and on the street downtown.

If troopers released you, the date is on the paperwork they gave you. If you were held, court is the next business day, where a judge reviews the bond.

After the arrest

Two paths after a Lebanon arrest. Released by the trooper on a promise to appear or after posting a bond, you appear on the date on your paperwork. Held, you go to court the next business day and the judge reviews what the state police set. The bond and bail page explains the types of bond; the arrest page explains booking.

A family violence arrest is on a different clock entirely: court the next business day no matter how you were released, and a protective order handed down there that can keep you out of your own home for the run of the case.

In between, say nothing about it to anyone, and treat a call from custody as the recorded conversation it is.

Common charges in Lebanon

The Lebanon docket at GA 21 is small and covers DUI, drug possession, assault, domestic violence and family violence, and larceny and shoplifting. For someone with no record the question is usually which diversionary program fits, because completing one ends the case in a dismissal.
