Larceny for drugs
Marissa Formato, 23, of Fairfield, was charged with larceny in the third degree and forgery in the second degree when she was arrested Saturday afternoon at her home. Formato's mother had called police to say that her daughter had admitted to stealing six checks from her and cashing them at two different banks for a total of $3,000 in order to pay for drugs. The mother called the banks which confirmed the loss of the funds. Formato admitted that she stole the checks from her mother's lock box. Formato was given bond of $1,500 and has a court date of Nov. 24.
Stolen leaf blower
Joseph Marchionni, 38 of Bridgeport was charged with larceny in the fifth degree and Mary B. Homa, 40, was charged with conspiracy to commit larceny in the fifth degree.
Early Friday afternoon, a man on Hillside Road saw a man in a grey sweatshirt and jeans go to his neighbor's porch and take his neighbor's Red Max leaf blower worth $550. The alleged thief quickly got into the back seat of a small grey car whose license plate the neighbor noted. Shortly afterward a police lieutenant saw the car heading east on Brookside Drive. He stopped the car at Samp Mortar Drive and pulled him over. Homa was driving and Marchionni was in the back seat. There was no leaf blower. Marchionni admitted that he had dumped the leaf blower behind some bushes at the corner of Mine Hill and Verna. It was recovered and returned to the homeowner.
Marchionni and Homa were released on a promise to appear in court on Nov. 24.

Larson was released on a $2,500 bond and has a court date of Nov. 27.
Domestic dispute
Nancy Teresa Kane, 49, of Fairfield, was charged with criminal trespass in the first degree, criminal mischief in the third degree, disorderly conduct, and interfering with an emergency call.
At about 2:10 on Monday morning, Kane's ex-husband called police to say that at 1:20 a.m., his ex-wife had come to his house and banged on the front door. He refused to admit her and the next thing he knew he heard glass breaking in the basement and she was coming up the basement steps. He later found a broken basement window through which she had gained entry to the house. The two had a verbal argument. When her ex-husband tried to call police, she grabbed his cell phone and then ripped the other phone out of the wall. She later admitted to having done so. Police observed fresh scratches on the ex-husband's neck and when police went to her house to question her, they observed a fresh bandage around her wrist. Police released her on $100 bond and ordered her not to have further contact with him until after she went to court that morning.
