Who polices Somers
Somers is covered by a resident state trooper assigned from Connecticut State Police Troop C. There is no town police department, so an arrest in Somers is a state police arrest.
Somers is also home to state correctional facilities, including Osborn. Incidents that happen at the complex, whether during a visit or in the course of working there, are state matters, and the criminal cases arising from them are heard at the same court as every other Somers arrest. If you were arrested at or near a facility, the case is not handled somewhere separate; it goes to GA 19.
Where your case goes
Somers cases are prosecuted at Rockville Superior Court, GA 19, in the Rockville section of Vernon. The court page covers the docket, parking, and what the first appearance involves.
If you were released after the arrest, your date is on your paperwork. If you were held, court is the next business day.
After the arrest
After booking you are either released on a written promise to appear or on a bond, or held for court the next business day. If you were released, the date is on your paperwork. If you were held, a judge reviews the bond at the first appearance. The arrest page and the bond and bail page cover both halves.
Say nothing about what happened, to anyone. That includes calls from a holding facility, which are recorded, and it includes conversations at work if the arrest touched your job.
A family violence arrest goes to court the next business day whether or not you were released, and the judge will issue a protective order at that appearance. The arraignment page explains what happens there and the what to expect page explains what follows it.
Common charges in Somers
The Somers docket at GA 19 covers the usual range: DUI, domestic violence and family violence, assault, drug possession, and larceny and shoplifting. Charges connected to the correctional facilities can carry consequences beyond the sentence, particularly for anyone whose job depends on a clearance or a license, which is a reason to talk to an attorney before the first court date rather than after it. A diversionary program may still be available on a first offense.
