Southington Man Faces Larceny, Drug Sale Charges

A 20-year-old Southington man is facing several charges stemming from the reported thefts of construction supplies and of selling marijuana in town.

According to Southington Police, investigators obtained arrest warrants for Jonathan Siarkowski, who surrendered at police headquarters about 8:43 p.m. Nov. 1

Siarkowski was charged with two counts each of third-degree criminal trespass and second-degree criminal mischief, and third-degree larceny. The charges stem from a continuing investigation which began Sept. 17 when Siarkowski was arrested for allegedly stealing aluminum forming joists from the Brunalli property located on Buckland Street in Southington.

“As the investigation continued, investigators found that on Sept. 15 and Sept. 16, Siarkowski and another person took aluminum, similar to the aluminum in the Sept. 17 case to a scrap yard and received cash payments for the aluminum,” according to a police statement. The value for the aluminum that was sold on Sept. 15 and Sept. 16 was placed at $2,048. Bond was at $5,000 for those charges.

Siarkowski also was charged with three counts of sale of a controlled substance connection with “three controlled purchases of marijuana” that were made in August, according to police. Bond on these charges was set at $75,000.

Siarkowski was held overnight and was scheduled to appear Nov. 2 in state Superior Court in Bristol.
