Description

Middletown CT located in Middlesex County dates all the way back to the 1600s and sits strategically aside the Connecticut River. Being in a central area of the state, Middletown is easily accessible to two larger cities in the state; New Haven, and the state’s capital, Hartford. Using the large, steel Arrigoni Bridge to enter the town, Middletown offers a variety of outdoor attractions as well as scenic waterside views. In its downtown area lies a diverse set of restaurants, small businesses, and retail shops. Being close to Wesleyan University, there’s always something to do in Middletown. Only a block apart in the downtown area you can find the local Middletown police department and Superior Courthouse GA-9.  Here is what you need to keep in mind for your next visit so you don’t end up as a handcuffed guest at these facilities: 1. Dealing with Outstanding Warrants If you have a warrant for your arrest, the police are actively looking for you to place you under arrest. Even though the police may not be “actively” knocking on your door right now, they can arrest you at any time. This arrest can happen at work, at home, even during a traffic stop. 2. Out of Town Arrest and Bail With summer ahead of us and COVID vaccines on their way, families are looking forward to traveling this year. Let’s face it; “staycation” for a year in your own hometown may have been enough. Now don’t get carried away while vacationing. Connecticut laws apply to visitors. Some recreational activities may be allowed in your state, but once you cross the line into Connecticut it may be illegal. There is commercial bail in Connecticut. This means if you get arrested you could use a licensed bail bondsman to post your bail. 3. Weekend Bail Bonds Service Connecticut bail bond companies usually work 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If you get arrested on a Friday night, you could post bail immediately by contacting a local bondsman. However, if you choose to not post bail, you will not be arraigned until the next time the court is open. During observed holidays, you may stay in jail for as many as three full days waiting for arraignment. 4. DUI in Connecticut Drinking and driving charges carry harsh consequences in Connecticut. Driving under the influence or (DUI) charges in Connecticut are some of the most serious traffic-related offenses, carrying penalties that can impact a person’s life for years to come. In addition to needing bail money, drivers with a DUI conviction may also receive jail sentences, steep fines, and the loss of their driving privileges. 5. COVID-19 Restrictions While spring has arrived with nice weather and COVID vaccines are on their way, remember that social distancing and face coverings are still mandated in Connecticut. You may have heard of a few Connecticut residents refusing to wear masks while attending court ending up arrested and charged with misdemeanors. Stay tuned with the local press releases from GOV. Lamont by following our Facebook page. With spring here, handle any outstanding warrants, never drink and drive, and avoid any unexpected arrests that may lead to visiting the jail cell at Middletown CT police. 3-D Bail Bonds serves Middlesex County 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can find a local bail bondsman by calling (860) 357- 5558. Stay safe and stay hopeful Middletown.
