The Foxwoods Tribal Police & the New London Connecticut Superior Criminal Court

As the best New London Connecticut criminal lawyers and attorneys understand, if you are arrested by Foxwoods Tribal Police for Disorderly Conduct, Breach of Peace, Interference with Police, or any other Connecticut crime, then you will have to report to the Connecticut Superior Court in New London.

However, If your Foxwoods arrest was for a more serious felony, such as Sex Assault / Rape, Possession with Intent to Sell, Burglary or Human Trafficking, then you will have to appear at the Part A Division of New London Superior Court, located at 70 Huntington Street. Notwithstanding, no matter what crime you have been arrested for at Foxwoods Casino, your best move is to first contact a top New London Connecticut / Foxwoods criminal lawyer before reporting to court.
