Who polices Windsor Locks
Windsor Locks is policed two ways. The town itself has its own department, the Windsor Locks Police Department, which makes arrests in the ordinary course.
Bradley International Airport is in Windsor Locks, and the airport is policed by the Connecticut State Police rather than by the town, out of Troop H in Hartford. An arrest there is a state police arrest.
This is the thing travellers get wrong, and it is worth being plain about. An arrest at Bradley is a Connecticut criminal case in the Connecticut courts. It is not an airline matter, it is not handled by the airport, and a federal screening incident at a checkpoint can produce state charges that are heard here like any other. If you were flying out and were arrested before you boarded, your case is in Connecticut whether or not you live here.
Where your case goes
Every Windsor Locks arrest, in the town or at the airport, is prosecuted at Hartford Superior Court, GA 14. There is no separate airport court.
Released, your date is printed on your paperwork. Held, you go to court the next business day. If you were passing through and have gone home, that date still stands, and missing it turns a case you might have resolved into a warrant. An attorney who practices at GA 14 can tell you which appearances you have to make in person.
After the arrest
If you were arrested at the airport, the practical questions come fast and in a bad order: whether you are getting on a plane, and whether you are getting out tonight. The second one is the bond. Released on a written promise to appear or after posting, you leave with a date. Held, you go to court the next business day and a judge reviews it. The bond and bail page covers the options, the arrest page covers booking.
You are almost certainly not making your flight, and rebooking is not the thing to sort out first. Do not discuss what happened with anyone, including airline or airport staff, and treat any call from holding as recorded.
A family violence arrest, in the town rather than the terminal, goes to court the next business day with a protective order issued at that appearance. The arraignment page covers the first date and the what to expect page covers the rest, which for someone who lives elsewhere is the part worth reading.
Common charges in Windsor Locks
Airport arrests skew towards DUI, which includes driving to and from the terminals, and towards breach of peace and assault charges arising from incidents at a checkpoint, a gate, or a bar. Drug possession charges come out of screening as well.
In the town itself the docket is the ordinary mix, adding domestic violence and family violence and larceny and shoplifting. For someone with no record a diversionary program ending in dismissal is often available, including to someone who lives in another state.
