FARMINGTON. The town's "excitement" this cycle came in three tidy batches of official paperwork, each printed with the calm authority of a municipal laser printer that has seen everything and felt nothing.
Below is every arrest listed in the Farmington Police Department's press logs provided, with dates, times, locations, charges, bond types/amounts, and court dates, because if the law insists on recordkeeping, we might as well commit to the bit.
