Who polices Windham
Windham has its own police department, and it covers Willimantic as well as the rest of the town. Arrests here are made by Windham officers, who handle booking and set the initial bond.
Willimantic is the city centre of the town of Windham, and your paperwork may name either one. They are the same place for these purposes: same department, same court, same process. If a form says Willimantic and another says Windham, nothing has gone wrong.
Where your case goes
This is the part worth reading twice. There is no criminal court in Willimantic. Windham cases are heard at Danielson Superior Court, GA 11, which means a drive of about thirty minutes east.
People still look for a court in Willimantic, and old references still point at one. If anything you are holding sends you there, it is out of date: go to Danielson, and leave time for the drive rather than treating it as a trip across town. The court page covers parking and what the first appearance involves.
If they released you, the date is the one on the paperwork. If they did not, you go to court the next business day.
After the arrest
Windham officers either release you on a written promise to appear or set a bond, or keep you for court the next business day, when a judge takes a fresh look at the amount. The arrest page sets out booking and the bond and bail page sets out the bond.
Whatever else, plan the drive east. Turning up late to a court thirty minutes away is a different kind of mistake from turning up late to one down the road, and it is avoidable.
Keep the incident to yourself until an attorney has heard it. Family violence arrests reach court the next business day either way, with a protective order handed down there. The arraignment page covers that date and the what to expect page covers the case that follows.
Common charges in Windham
As the largest town in this court, Windham supplies most of the GA 11 docket: DUI, assault, domestic violence and family violence, drug possession, and larceny and shoplifting.
For a first offense the aim is usually a diversionary program that ends in dismissal, and most of them can be used once, so which to apply for and when is a real decision rather than a form.
