FARMINGTON — Tuesday's arrest log carried seven records. Wednesday's carried the column headings.
The page covering 7 a.m. Tuesday through 7 a.m. Wednesday is empty. No names, no charges, no bonds, no court dates. The department ran the form anyway.
After a long weekend that produced four impaired-driving arrests, Farmington took Tuesday off.
Whatever Wednesday turns up will be on Thursday's page.
Update, Sept. 11: Thursday's page was blank too, and so was Friday's. Three in a row: Sept. 9 to 10 and Sept. 10 to 11.
