Who polices Montville
Montville is policed two ways, and which applies depends on exactly where you were.
Off the reservation, arrests in Montville are made by the Montville Police Department. Interstate 395 runs through the town and carries a share of that work.
Mohegan Sun sits on the Mohegan reservation, which is policed by the Mohegan Tribal Police. An arrest at the casino is normally heard at GA 21, because Mohegan Sun is in Montville and Montville is a GA 21 town. But arrests involving tribal police can raise questions about which authority had jurisdiction, and those are worth raising with an attorney early rather than assuming an answer from a page like this one.
Where your case goes
Montville cases, including cases arising at the casino, are normally heard at Norwich Superior Court, GA 21, at 1 Courthouse Square. Parking downtown is mostly paid and on the street.
Released after the arrest, your date is on the paperwork you were given. Held, court is the next business day.
After the arrest
Whichever police force made the arrest, what happens next follows the same shape: released on a written promise to appear or after posting a bond, or held for court the next business day. The arrest page covers booking and the bond and bail page covers the bond.
Where a jurisdictional question exists, get an attorney into it early, and in the meantime say nothing about the incident to anyone, on a recorded line or off one.
A family violence arrest is heard the next business day with a protective order issued at that appearance. The arraignment page covers the date and the what to expect page covers the arc of the case.
Common charges in Montville
Casino traffic gives DUI a steady presence on what GA 21 sees out of Montville, and the resort produces assault, breach of peace, and larceny cases of the kind any large venue does. Drug possession and domestic violence and family violence round out the town docket.
For a visitor with no record, a diversionary program that ends in dismissal is often available, including to someone who lives in another state.
