Who polices Wethersfield
Wethersfield has its own police department, and town officers make the arrests here, handling booking and the initial bond.
Two commercial roads carry most of the enforcement, the Silas Deane Highway and the Berlin Turnpike. Between them they account for a large share of both the traffic stops and the store cases the department handles.
Where your case goes
Wethersfield cases go to New Britain Superior Court, GA 15. Hartford is closer and is not the court, which is the single most common thing Wethersfield residents get wrong about their own case.
If you were released, the date is on your paperwork. If you were held, court is the next business day. The court page covers parking and the docket.
After the arrest
You either leave the department with a court date or wait for one. A promise to appear or a posted bond gets you out; otherwise you are held for court the next business day and the judge looks at the bond again. The arrest page covers booking, the bond and bail page covers the money.
Do not discuss the case with anyone before you have spoken to an attorney, including from a holding cell on a recorded line.
Family violence changes the timetable: court the next business day regardless, and a protective order at that appearance. The arraignment page sets out what happens there and the what to expect page sets out the rest of the case.
Common charges in Wethersfield
The two corridors between them make larceny and shoplifting and DUI the charges GA 15 most often sees out of Wethersfield, with drug possession close behind. Assault and domestic violence and family violence make up the rest. A first offense frequently qualifies for a diversionary program that ends in dismissal, and most of those can be used once, so the timing matters.
