Who polices North Stonington
North Stonington has no municipal police department. The town is covered by a resident state trooper assigned from Connecticut State Police Troop E, based in Montville, so an arrest here is a state police arrest.
A resident trooper is assigned to the town rather than passing through it. The practical points are that booking runs through the state police, the paperwork comes from the troop, and the troop is who a family calls about someone still being held. It is not a local station down the road.
Where your case goes
North Stonington cases go to New London Superior Court, GA 10, at 112 Broad Street, a fair way west of a town near the Rhode Island line. Go to Broad Street; Huntington Street is the Judicial District courthouse and a separate building.
Released, your date is on the paperwork the trooper gave you. Held, court is the next business day. There is no public lot at the courthouse.
After the arrest
Three ways this ends: a written promise to appear, a bond you can cover, or a night in custody and court the next business day with the amount up for review. The arrest page covers booking and the bond and bail page covers what a bond actually costs.
The cheapest thing you can do between now and court is also the most useful: say nothing about it. More people make their own case worse at this point than at any later one.
A family violence arrest runs on the next business day rule instead, with a protective order issued at that first appearance which runs for the length of the case. The arraignment page explains the first court date and the what to expect page explains where it goes.
Common charges in North Stonington
The North Stonington docket at GA 10 is small and led by DUI and drug possession, with assault, domestic violence and family violence, and larceny and shoplifting behind them. For a first offense the realistic aim is a diversionary program ending in dismissal.
