FARMINGTON — The Farmington Police Department published its daily press arrest log again on Friday morning. One page, covering Sept. 3 at 7 a.m. through Sept. 4 at 7 a.m., with nothing on it.
It is the fourth blank page in a row, and the four run end to end, 7 a.m. Monday through 7 a.m. Friday, with no gap between them.
The log has columns for a name, an address, an arresting officer, an incident number, the charge and its counts, the bond type and amount, a court date and a remarks line. Since Monday it has carried none of them.
The last arrest on the books is from Sunday afternoon, and it appeared in the log the department posted Monday, which covered the whole weekend. A 20-year-old Burlington man was stopped at Main Street and Bidwell Square at 1:28 p.m. and charged with illegal operation of a motor vehicle under the influence, with the separate count the state reserves for drivers under 21 who register a blood-alcohol content of .02, and with failure to drive in the proper lane. Bond was set at $2,500 and posted. He is due in court Sept. 14.
Anything the weekend produces will show up in the log posted Monday.
